Christmas, with Love at Buchanan Galleries: Perfect Presents, Live Music and the Listening Bench!

Introducing our Listening Bench

This festive season, we've teamed up with social enterprise The No.1 Care & Be-friending Agency to bring you our Listening Bench, an inclusive space for connection and solace during a time when many feel isolated.

Find it on the First Floor, beneath the holly tree near Boots. It's a place where you can strike up a conversation and share the festive spirit, so everyone can feel connected this Christmas.

Mall-filled Music: Festive Performances this December

Browse and shop to a backdrop of festive singing this December. Let us get you into the festive spirit!

Choirs from local schools and hospitals, sourced by Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, will be visiting on various days throughout December to bring the joyous sound of carols to your Christmas shopping trip. 

Gifts they will Love

Whether you’re shopping for a foodie, a fashionista, or your little ones, find the perfect presents in our stores.

As well as visiting your favourite brands, shop small this Christmas and find unique gifts for loved ones at the Christmas Shop at John Lewis & Partners, or support independent, local brands and visit some of our new shops.

In-centre Gift Wrapping Service

Need a hand making your presents look pretty? Once you’ve finished your Christmas shopping, take your gifts along to the Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity shop to use their gift wrapping service. There’s a suggested donation of £2+, with all proceeds going to the charity which funds life-changing equipment and services at the children’s hospital in Glasgow. 

Celebrate Christmas with Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity

Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity will be hosting a Christmas pop-up shop from 13th November to 24th December, selling a variety of Christmas cards and gifts. Why not take advantage of their convenient gift wrapping service? This is available from 9th December to 24th December for a suggested donation of £2 per item. 

Make a difference with Social Bite's Trees of Kindness

Social Bite are giving you the opportunity to make a local child’s Christmas by bringing a gift or monetary donation to the tree outside their store on Sauchiehall Street. The golden tree outside John Lewis accepts donations via cash or card, which will go towards toys, hot meals and warm clothes, as well as two new Social Bite villages that aim to help give homeless people a home, to be built in 2025.
