Chelsea Winter Village & Illuminations returns for 2026, back with a longer route and brand new artworks by Britain's leading light artists.

Join us where London's Christmas begins: a glorious trail of light installations through Ranelagh Gardens, set within the historic grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. When the trail ends, the evening carries on. The Chelsea Winter Village is built for lingering, find the Chelsea Food Hall, boutique shopping, après-ski bar, fire pits and heated tipis, curling, fairground rides, and performances from the Chelsea Pensioners Choir.

Central London's only festive light trail awaits, this Christmas.
