If you’ve left it this late, you may need divine intervention - but don’t worry, we’re here to help 😇

In each image, 2/3 of the items are available here at Barbican Chimes, so you don’t have to look any further for your last-minute gift shopping.

We also wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the four great charities we’re supporting this year, all based in the UK and supporting music-making and the arts in various ways. These are:
