Chelsea Winter Village & Illuminations

This winter, Royal Hospital Chelsea becomes home to an immersive festive experience, bringing a seasonal celebration to the heart of one of London’s most iconic heritage settings.

Winter Village 

Take a wander through glowing archways, flickering firepits, and fairy-lit corners. Here's what you'll find...

• The Feast Quarter Street food worth lingering for. Winter indulgence, bold flavours, and our bar pouring seasonal favourites
  until late.
• The Après Bar Mulled wine, spiced cocktails, and chalet-style comfort all the joy of the Alps, and the knowing glance of
  staying for "just one more."
• Marshmallow Fire Pits Toasted marshmallows, flickering flames, and that
  unmistakable scent of winter happiness.
• The Gathering Covered seating and a glowing stage hosting choirs,
  acoustic sets, and spontaneous singalongs with friends.
• Merry Grounds Nostalgic rides, fairground lights, and a touch of
  childhood magic for the young and the young-at-heart.
• Market Avenue Artisan gifts, handmade treasures, and festive treats perfect for browsing, sipping, and quietly convincing yourself it counts as shopping.
• The Curling Club Eight alpine lanes, lively tunes, and a touch of friendly competition - a little Winter Olympics spirit, without
  the cold fingers.
