Have fun Christmas shopping at The MERL!
Come to The MERL and enjoy a lovely, festive experience. Find special gifts in our gift shop, seasonal treats in the café, meet our local suppliers, try some Christmassy crafting AND feel a warm glow knowing that all your purchases help support The MERL’s work with collections and communities. There’ll also be festive performances by Universal Voices, a children’s community choir run by the University of Reading’s Institute of Education!
Read more about Christmas in the MERL gift shop in our latest blog from the shop team!
