About the event
Join the Chelsea Pensioner Singers, supported by Elaine Hillier, as they perform a selection of classic carols and festive favourites, filling the courtyard with warmth, harmony, and holiday cheer.
Singing is a cherished tradition at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, and no one shares it quite like the Chelsea Pensioners. With past performances at St Paul’s Cathedral, St James’s Palace, and Sandown Park Races, not to mention local Chelsea pubs, they bring heart and humour wherever they go. But it’s performing at home that brings them the greatest joy.
This special carol concert will be fitting event as we begin to close our Christmas activities at the Soane Stable Yard and welcome the season in song and celebration.
Carol sheets will be provided, so everyone is encouraged to sing along. Pick up a mulled wine or festive treat from Heidi Bakery, gather in the courtyard, and let the music carry you into the heart of Christmas.
