The Festive Style Edit: Christmas Shopping, Elevated Hood x St James Quarter
Last year’s Hood x St James Quarter Festive Style Edit was a sell-out. Seventy-five of you joined us for fizz, insider tips and the most stylish night of the season. It was so good, we had to bring it back. This year we’re bigger and brighter, in a larger space in Scotland’s premier shopping destination.
Why St James Quarter?
Well, because it’s the beating heart of Edinburgh’s style scene, with everything for your wardrobe and your gift list. COS, & Other Stories and Zara for polish, Mango, Stradivarius and Pull&Bear for trend-led finds. Kurt Geiger and Russell & Bromley for footwear icons. Designer names BOSS, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger and Kate Spade bring elevated finishing touches, while John Lewis anchors it all. From sports and leisure to beauty and wellbeing — Boots, Space NK, H beauty, Neom, Aesop, Rituals and Molton Brown — every side of the season is covered. And that’s just a snapshot, the Quarter is home to dozens more names waiting to be discovered.
Dining is just as stylish
Ka Pao, Duck & Waffle, SUSHISAMBA and Bonnie & Wild turn shopping into a night out, fizz in hand under the lights. The choice doesn’t stop there — from laid-back bites to fine dining, St James Quarter serves up something for every taste. And when the bags are full, Everyman Cinema’s line-up of festive classics keeps the mood going.
Oh So Easy to Get There
With Waverley Station and St Andrews Bus Station just a minute away, plus plenty of on-site parking, the Festive Style Edit is open to Hood readers across Scotland.
Expert Advice & Exclusive Perks
You’ll have Hood editors and insider experts on hand with advice that works in real life. Beauty pros from your favourite brands showing what really makes an impact. Exclusive perks, activations and edits curated by us: gifts already picked, outfits pulled together for drinks to dinner to dancing, beauty looks that carry you through the season without effort.
Gorgeous Goody Bags
And because you deserve a little something too, every guest leaves with our now-legendary goody bag and the festive issue of Hood — your seasonal fashion, beauty and lifestyle glossy. At £20, the ticket more than pays for itself before you’ve even started shopping.
The Festive Style Edit is where the season starts. Party looks that shine, presents that feel effortless, and the buzz of Scotland’s most stylish night out. Last year’s tickets vanished quickly. This year will be no different. The date, time and full line-up will be revealed soon via the Hood newsletter, but book tickets now to make sure you don’t miss out.
