What's on

Celebrate the joy of Christmas morning with the Chelsea Pensioners at our Christmas Day Service in the Wren Chapel. This uplifting service is a wonderful way to mark the special day, surrounded by the warmth of community and the timeless beauty of the Chapel.

Try your hand at a new type of art each month in our dementia-inclusive creative session, taking place in the historic setting of the Soane Stable Yard and inspired by the rich heritage of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. 

Our monthly dementia-inclusive singing group provides an opportunity for local older people and those affected by dementia to come together, have fun and improve their wellbeing. Enjoy a good, hearty singing session and exercise your mind and soul. And don’t worry if you think you can’t sing - it's all about enjoying yourself! 

Join us for our next Boxing Training session with the Chelsea Pensioners and Fighting Chance. We welcome all Veterans from the Tri-Services and the Merchant Navy in receipt of a state pension to book now for our next monthly non-contact boxing training session.

Get to know your neighbours and the Chelsea Pensioners over a cuppa at our monthly free coffee morning. Play games, discuss current affairs or our unique art and history collection, reminisce or simply meet new people, all in the historic setting of the Royal Hospital's Soane Stable Yard.

Get creative in 2026 at our exclusive Veterans Outreach Art with Lorna session.

Meet other veterans from the Tri-Services and Merchant Navy in a relaxed and supportive environment, while enjoy a spot of relaxation and artistic creativity.

xperience the 330-year-old buildings of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in a totally new way. Each month we will take a relaxed, sensory stroll through different areas of the Royal Hospital grounds. Smell the aromas of the delicious food served in the Great Hall, hear beautiful organ music in the Wren Chapel, or take in the stunning Christopher Wren architecture. 

Join the Chelsea Pensioners and other veterans for an afternoon of fun and games.  Held in our purpose built activities centre, you'll be able to enjoy a leisurely afternoon of games alongside other retired military veterans.

Step behind the gates of the Royal Hospital Chelsea after hours for an unforgettable evening tour led by one of our iconic Chelsea Pensioners. As the sun sets and the site falls quiet, you’ll be guided through the historic grounds under the cover of night – hearing stories rarely shared in the daylight.
