Macmillan Celebrity Christmas Stocking Auction
The Celebrity Christmas Stocking Auction is one of the most glamorous events in the London Special Events calendar.
Each year Macmillan asks fifteen celebrities to tell us what they would like to find in their 'Dream Christmas Stocking'. These stockings are then auctioned off to an exclusive audience at the Waldorf Hilton. In past years, celebrities such as Sir Elton John, Sienna Miller, Hugh Grant, Helen Mirren and Robbie Williams have all helped us to create their 'Dream Christmas Stocking'.
Doors will open at 6.30pm and you will be welcomed into the Palm Court for a champagne and canapés reception where you will have the opportunity to browse the contents of each stocking which will be on display. The auction, conducted by Andrew McVinish of Christies and co-presented by Neil Fox, will commence at 8pm.
Join us on this dazzling evening and help us to exceed our target of raising £200,000 (net) for the vital work of Macmillan Cancer Support.
The Stockings
Chef Tom Aikens, Claudia Winkleman, Anya Hindmarch and Torvill & Dean are just a few of a fantastic line up of celebrities whose dream Christmas stockings will be auctioned off on the night.
Each stocking is brimming with sumptuous items including - a luxurious stay at a beach front suite at One&Only Palmilla in Los Cabos, Mexico, Dunhill luggage, a pampering weekend with treatments at The Grove and Swarovski crystal jewellery as featured in the new James Bond film!
