Christmas In Chelsea

We are thrilled to announce that we are helping to curate the Festive Makers Market at Christmas in Chelsea this year!

December 4th – 29th

Opening hours – 4.30 – 9.30pm

Get ready to trade from charming Christmas chalets while being part of London’s newest Christmas tradition, held at the historic Royal Hospital Chelsea. From Wednesday, 4th December to Sunday, 29th December 2024, this exciting event will bring festive cheer to the heart of Chelsea.

Famous for hosting Salon Privé and the Chelsea Flower Show, the Royal Hospital Chelsea and its iconic Pensioners are now welcoming Christmas in Chelsea. Visitors will experience a magical light trail through the exclusive Ranelagh Gardens, discover unique treasures at the makers market, and enjoy seasonal workshops—perfect for couples, families, and anyone looking for that special holiday experience.

The chalets, pictured below, are 3m x 3m, offering you a cozy, festive trading space.

Please note that tables, shelving, rails, and seating are not provided.

You can choose between an open-fronted or open-hatch chalet to suit your needs. Each chalet is equipped with electricity and an overhead light, but we recommend bringing additional festive lighting to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Wi-Fi is available, and the chalets are lockable for added security.
