Britain's What's On Event Guide
Christmas at Old Royal Naval College
Festivities at the Old Royal Naval College promise joy and memorable moments for all the family. Seasonal favourites return with Father Christmas (28th November - 22nd December) bringing storytelling and seasonal magic to life and The Elves and the Jingle Bell Ball (19th - 23rd December) offer a new interactive Christmas adventure featuring decorating, discos, magic spells and cheer. Live music returns with award-winning Trinity Laban Choir’s Christmas Carol Concert in the Chapel (7th, 14th December) and acclaimed theatre company Three Inch Fools present A Christmas Carol (20th - 21st November), a magical production that blends illusion and music to bring the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future vividly to life.
New to the festive programme, Admiral’s House will open its doors for Christmas Social Media Days. Beautifully dressed for the holidays, all four rooms of the historic house will be adorned with decorations, creating the perfect setting to celebrate the season throughout December and explore the historic interiors that are rarely open to the public. A special Festive Pause wellbeing session (20th December) will also be held in the Painted Hall, where visitors can step away from the seasonal rush and embrace a moment of calm. The session features expert guided yoga followed by an exclusive private tour of the magnificent Painted Hall and a festive-themed brunch at the historic Old Brewery.
