Anya's Grotto

Step into the enchanting world of Anya’s Grotto, a delightful holiday experience returning to the heart of Chelsea, where Anya Hindmarch’s Village Hall on Pont Street transforms into a wonderland brimming with Christmas magic. 

This season, gather the family and go on a whimsical adventure led by Father Christmas himself, winding through candy cane forests, glistening with snow, and filled with twinkling baubles that sparkle just as brightly as children’s eyes.

Designed to enchant and inspire, the Grotto invites little ones to explore icy caves adorned with glistening icicles, immerse themselves in festive storytime by the fire, and enjoy the sights and sounds of a truly magical holiday experience. It’s a journey that promises to reignite the Christmas spirit, capturing the wonder of the season in each snowy, shimmering corner.

Set in the heart of Chelsea, Anya’s Grotto has become a beloved festive destination, welcoming families year after year. The attention to detail—each glittering bauble, each crunch of snow—transports children and adults alike into a Christmas tale come to life, making this experience the highlight of the holiday season.

For those seeking even more festive cheer, visit Anya Café from 2nd November until 5th January to enjoy a special festive afternoon tea experience. Savour a glass of mulled wine and a selection of exclusive seasonal cakes, all presented on a beautifully carved festive-themed stand inspired by spinning Swedish angel chimes. Book early, as it’s expected to sell out quickly!

Afterwards, wander down Sloane Street and take in the beautiful new Christmas lights, glowing with festive charm after their switch-on on November 16. For more details about the Christmas Lights Switch-On, click here.

Spaces tend to fill quickly, so be sure to book soon to secure your family’s visit to Anya’s Grotto. This captivating retreat is the perfect way to kindle the magic of Christmas in young hearts and create memories to cherish.
