Event details

Step into a festive wonderland and join our Chelsea Pensioners for a magical storytelling experience set in our beautifully decorated Christmas-themed room.

In this interactive session, children will be captivated by the timeless tale of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, originally titled A Visit from St. Nicholas. With twinkling lights and festive cheer all around, our Pensioners will bring the poem to life with warmth, humour, and a sprinkle of Christmas magic.

“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there…”

Each 30-minute session is designed to delight young imaginations and get everyone in the mood for the holiday season. Expect laughter, surprises, and plenty of festive spirit.

Event also runs on 13th & 20th December as part of our Soane Stable Yard Christmas.
