Get into the festive spirit with an evening of curling at the Chelsea Winter Village, set in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea among the winter illuminations. No ice, no special kit and no experience needed, just a lane, a set of stones and a lot of laughter.

Curling is wonderfully easy to pick up and surprisingly competitive once you get going. It is the perfect way to break the ice, so to speak, with everyone taking turns, cheering each other on and celebrating every good shot.

If you love a festive night out, a little friendly competition, or simply want to kick off December with new friends, this one is for you.
