Step into Christmas at the Old Royal Naval College

Spend this festive season at the Old Royal Naval College and enjoy a delightful programme of events for the whole family. Join Father Christmas and his granddaughter for a story around the fireplace in the Admiral’s House to receive a special gift and feel the holiday magic with a heartwarming, interactive Christmas performance from the doorstep elves. There’s more Christmas joy over at the Chapel of St Peter & St Paul with its annual Christmas carol concerts, as well as a captivating screening of the 1950s classic film Scrooge accompanied by live music.

Returning with the enchantment of Christmas is the family favourite The Elves and The Magic Bear. Christmas magic flows in this interactive show from Santa’s Elves as they embark on a chaotic journey to ensure every child receive their gift this Christmas. Joined by Mrs. Claus, the audience must help the elves with this important mission to make sure no child is left behind. With joyful singing, dancing, and silliness, this interactive production captivates children of all ages, offering the perfect festive family show.

Stopping off in Greenwich once again is Father Christmas for a warm welcome and a reading of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Families can gather around the cosy fire with each child receiving a special gift and have a photo opportunity with Father Christmas and his granddaughter.
