Santa’s Grotto at The Ivy Chelsea Garden…

Behind the scenes of our Early Hours Santa’s Grotto at The Ivy Chelsea Garden…

One of our most ambitious projects to date, bringing the North Pole to the streets of Chelsea in London!  Designed alongside The Ivy’s wonderful seasonal dining experience, we are thrilled that it has brought so much joy this season when the usual Santa’s Grotto’s haven’t been available.

At The Ivy Chelsea Garden, the North Pole inspired facade provides an immersive experience involving Santa’s Grotto, full-size sleigh, Santa’s workshop, giant Christmas tree, overflowing shimmering baubles and postbox.  Seeing all the beautiful photos guests have taken enjoying the installation has meant a lot to our team.  2020 hasn’t been easy for anyone and sadly The Ivy Chelsea Garden have had to close their doors yet again.  Yet despite the disappointment, we hope this installation continues to have the most incredible festive impact, spreads seasonal cheer and lifts the community spirit.
