Time: 19:00 - 21:00

Join us for the Royal Hospital Chelsea Carol Service in the beautiful Wren Chapel, a special fundraising event raising vital funds for the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
Enjoy a heartwarming evening of traditional carols performed by our talented choir, alongside readings by Chelsea Pensioners, all thoughtfully curated by our Director of Music, Will Vann.
Following the service, guests are invited to the Great Hall where they will have the opportunity to meet some of our Chelsea Pensioners and browse our Christmas Bazaar, featuring a range of unique gifts and festive treats.
By attending this event, you will be helping to support the Royal Hospital Chelsea and the veterans who call it home. All proceeds from ticket sales directly support the welfare, care and community activities of the Chelsea Pensioners.
We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
