Spend a summer afternoon getting creative at Chelsea Physic Garden.

Think funny faces, bold colours and curious creatures fit for a midsummer parade.
The Garden team will be on hand to help families build, decorate and bring their characters to life. All materials are provided and everyone takes home their own creation. Part of Summer Family Programming at Chelsea Heritage Quarter.
