THE CHELSEA BARRACKS WINTER FAIR 2025
Celebrating the Season
We were delighted to welcome so many visitors to the Chelsea Barracks Winter Fair again this year, as it returned to Belgravia for its second festive season. The fair brought joyful celebrations to the neighbourhood on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd November, filling the days with seasonal cheer from morning through to early evening.
Visitors enjoyed winter’s most beloved dishes from The Campaner restaurant and Entrée bakery - comforting flavours paired with the irresistible aromas of mulled wine and mince pies drifting through the air. It was a wonderful way to savour the spirit of the season together.
Visit
Father Christmas in his Grotto
Children had the chance to enjoy a special visit from Father Christmas, and warm up with a delicious hot chocolate, while visitors of all ages were able to soak up the magical atmosphere as they wandered the fair and enjoyed live choir performances, filling Chelsea Barracks with music and cheer.
Debora Fisher-Smith, Head of Placemaking & Partnerships at Chelsea Barracks
Last year was such a success, and it’s wonderful to see this event becoming a new tradition within the community. This year, we’re building on that momentum with more festive activities, artisanal market stalls and family-friendly entertainment. The Winter Fair is a true celebration of the season, and we look forward to welcoming both neighbours and visitors to share in the magic once again.
Festive Workshops with LVF Studio, Bable and Rosanna Falconer
Our inspiring programme of creative workshops took place across the two-day event, offering guests the chance to learn from leading tastemakers. Visitors joined floral stylists LVF Studio for a festive wreath-making session, explored the art of candle painting with Bable, and discovered the secrets to elegant entertaining through a tablescaping masterclass with interior expert Rosanna Falconer. Each workshop was designed to bring a touch of seasonal magic into the home, making them the perfect way to celebrate the spirit of winter.
Saturday 22nd November 3pm – 5pm
Wreath making with LVF Creative Studio
Visitors were able to craft a stunning wreath using evergreen foliage and pine, accented with natural decorations. The workshop was 2 hours long and included all materials needed to create a beautiful, full wreath.
Sustainably made using natural materials such as dried flowers, pinecones and dried fruits, there are few things more special than their Christmas wreaths. All designs are created with biodegradable or recyclable materials, and they incorporate as many dried British grown blooms as possible into their festive creations.
Saturday 22nd November 10am – 11am
Festive Tablescape Masterclass with Rosanna Falconer
Rosanna hosted a morning of festive inspiration at the Chelsea Barracks Winter Fair, where she shared the creative journey behind her new winter table linen collection - from Jaipur’s hand-blocked motifs to her signature layering of colour, candlelight and texture.
The morning included an interactive napkin-styling workshop, where Rosanna will demonstrated how thoughtful folds, ribbons and small floral details can turn a table setting into something truly personal and memorable.
All proceeds from ticket sales went to Vimukti Sanstha, a non-profit for girls' education with whom Rosanna works in Jaipur.
22nd & 23rd November 11am – 4pm
Design & Paint Festive Candles with Bable
Visitors celebrated the season with a joyful drop-in candle painting session led by Bianca from Bable.
Guided through a variety of festive styles, colours, and techniques, visitors designed and painted their own pair of elegant, tapered candles, perfect for adding a touch of holiday magic to any home.
This relaxed, creative workshop was a wonderful way to get into the festive spirit, unwind, and let your imagination glow. Suitable for all ages and abilities, no experience needed!
