Step into a festive wonderland and join the Chelsea Pensioners for a magical storytelling experience set in a 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, the 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 storytelling 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.
The sessions run on Saturday 6th, 13th and 20th December as part of the Soane Stable Yard Christmas.
Tickets are £5.00 per child and the event is limited to 15 children per session. Please note that 1 ticket is required per child; each child must be accompanied by an adult. Adults attend free, with a maximum of one adult per child ticket purchased.
Times: 11.30am-12pm; 1pm-1.30pm; 2.30pm-3pm
