Experience the magic of Christmas at Chelsea Physic Garden with Father Christmas Storytelling.

Step into the festive wonderland of Chelsea Physic Garden, nestled on the banks of the River Thames, and let the magic of Christmas come alive. This December, join us for an enchanting storytelling experience with Father Christmas  in our charming Greenhouse Themed Grotto.

Get ready for a Christmas adventure as Father Christmas shares a heart warming story in his cosy, twinkling grotto. Each child will receive a special gift from Father Christmas, and there’s a perfect opportunity to capture this magical moment with a photo!

After the story, explore the stunning winter beauty of London’s oldest botanic garden.

While you are here, join in on our eco-friendly Christmas decoration craft activity, perfect for all ages. Take a break and warm up with a delicious mulled wine or a creamy hot chocolate from The Physic Garden Café, and enjoy the festive spirit in every corner of the garden.
