The tree is decorated, the lights are sparkling, and the Festive Season is officially underway at Joburg’s Best Shopping Centre… Hyde Park Corner where a #MadeForYou shopping experience awaits.
A Christmas Wonderland
It doesn’t get more festive than an entire store dedicated to Christmas – and not just any old Christmas shopping, a shopping experience at Nicholas & Co. is a curated collection of Christmas décor, bakeware, signature scents, unique collectables (don’t miss out on the quirky Jim Shore collection of The Grinch) and a brand-new collection of Ulster Weavers table linen. This store has been transformed into a world of festive cheer where each themed tree is adorned in glass baubles, classic finials, elegant bows and moving trains to create the romance we all cherish at Christmas with a trendy twist.
Date: Until Saturday, 24 December 2022
Venue: Lower Mall

Hyde Park Corner is the epitome of fifty-something and fabulous. Since 1969, when it opened as the first fully enclosed, decentralized shopping centre in South Africa, this benchmark of South African retail has remained current, relevant, and diverse.

Hyde Park Corner’s light and spacious centre, in a prime Johannesburg location, is home to hundreds of international brands within 109 iconic bespoke retail stores; and because shopping and dining are synonymous with a satisfying shopping experience, six alluring restaurants cater to a diverse range of tastes and occasions, from fine dining to meze on the move.
Hyde Park Corner is the place where creativity and comfort magically connect… a place where shopping for art, antiques, superb fashion, unique homewares, or quirky craftsmanship, is a reality. The Cortina Fashion Court bears testimony to our flair for securing a distinguished blend of international iconic fashion brands and blending them perfectly with the very best in Proudly South African brands. The centre also provides a wide range of medical, dental and health professionals, high-tech banks, cinemas and other services – our offering follows a holistic approach to shopping.
