Simon Rogan’s £435 advent calendar packs 24 Lake District gifts, from damson liqueur to sparkling rosé

Simon Rogan, the chef behind L’Enclume in Cartmel, has brought back his advent calendar for 2026, and it is one of the most ambitious food calendars in the UK. The official Simon Rogan shop lists the 24-day calendar at £435 on 9 November 2026, with pre-orders open for delivery in the week commencing 23 November.

Behind the 24 days are food and drink from the Rogan kitchens and farm, plus pieces from artists including Ellie Heaven, Heidi Schramli, Eryl Fryer and Sweetpea Ceramics, all packed in reusable organic cotton bags inside a presentation box.

Four versions, from £395 to £525

| Option | Price |

|—|—|

| Day 1 to 24 refill | £395 |

| Day 1 to 24 | £435 |

| Day 1 to 25 refill | £485 |

| Day 1 to 25 | £525 |

The refill versions are for last year’s buyers: they leave out the cotton bags, wooden number tags and presentation box, and come wrapped and numbered in recyclable paper. The Day 1 to 25 versions add a Christmas Day voucher for a Home by Simon Rogan six-course tasting menu for two, including delivery.

At £435, the 24-day calendar works out at about £18 a day.

The artworks vary from calendar to calendar

Simon Rogan notes that each calendar has a different piece of Eryl Fryer’s work. Ellie Heaven’s “Seasons of Our Farm” print comes in four versions, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, so each calendar contains one of the four. There is also a Sweetpea Ceramics mug and a Heidi Schramli panel.

Delivery

All orders are dispatched in the week commencing 23 November 2026, according to the product page. If you want a specific delivery day after that, the shop asks you to email its team.

Our take

This is a restaurant experience in a box rather than a sweet treat. The mix of pantry items, a sourdough starter, seeds, a candle, a diffuser and original craft is what justifies the price, and the refill option is a smart, lower-waste idea for returning buyers. For most people, the £435 version is a splurge. For a food lover who will never get a table at L’Enclume, the 25-day edition with the tasting menu voucher may be the more memorable gift.
