The V&A’s new Silo district in Cape Town, South Africa is set to shine as Moët & Chandon unveil the city’s grandest Champagne Christmas Tree in a spectacular tree lighting ceremony on the 7th of December

Not only is the impressive Champagne Tree 10 metres tall and made entirely from over 1,500 recycled Moët & Chandon champagne bottles, it’s also interactive! 

In true festive spirit, you’ll be able to send your messages to your loved ones on the night … all your messages that include the hashtag #moetmomentcapetown will appear as you post them on a light ribbon wrapped around the tree. And, to add to the excitement, when you engage on social media using the #moetmomentcapetown followed by the popping champagne bottle emoji the golden crown at the top of the tree will spin!

Guests are invited to join the fun at 7.30pm on Thursday 7th of December.

Visitors to the V&A are invited to enjoy late night Christmas shopping in the Silo district from 1st - 24th December and delicious festive specials at all the restaurants in the plaza with views of the Moët & Chandon Champagne Tree. 

The tree will be lighting up the Silo district until the 3rd of January.
