A Christmas night out - reimagined.
There is a version of Christmas we all carry in our heads.
Snow falling softly. Lights twinkling in the trees. Music drifting through the air. Maybe a glass in hand. The feeling that, just for a moment, you can step away from the ordinary world and just let that Christmas feeling fill your heart.
Then imagine if there was an evening created especially for those of us who still want to feel that magic.
This is the Winter Garden After Dark
This is Christmas.
Two exclusive nights in the snow.
Just 100 guests each night.
Thursday 3rd December & Friday 11th December
A snowy, sparkling, immersive festive evening made for grown-ups who want to fall in love with Christmas all over again.
Begin with a glass of something festive, then step through the magical wardrobe and leave the outside world behind.
From there, your evening unfolds - a journey through the secret walled gardens of Fulham Palace following a snow-filled path beneath twinkling lights, with moments of magic waiting quietly along the way.
As snow falls around you, the garden draws you deeper into the Christmas you have always imagined: atmospheric, nostalgic and full of wonder.
Then make your way to the North Pole Lodge, where the evening settles into candlelight, food to share, drinks in hand and live piano singalongs of the songs that just make Christmas feel like Christmas.
The night you fall in love with Christmas all over again.
When your journey through the snow comes to an end, step in from the cold and into the warmth of the North Pole Lodge.
Raise a glass, share something delicious, and settle into the evening at our long candlelit trestle tables. Expect festive cocktails, winter warmers, seasonal drinks and generous sharing platters for two, designed for a relaxed, indulgent Christmas night with friends.
To make the evening even more effortless, you can pre-order festive sharing platters, wine and prosecco when booking your tickets, ready to enjoy as North Pole Lodge comes alive after dark.
With snow falling softly outside, music at the piano and a Christmas singalong filling the room, this is a night made for rosy cheeks, good cheer, laughter and that wonderful feeling of coming home to Christmas.

Winter Garden After Dark is an exclusive immersive Christmas evening for grown-ups, set within the secret walled gardens of Fulham Palace.
For two magical nights only, guests will step through the wardrobe and into a snow-filled world of twinkling lights, festive drinks, hidden moments of magic and the wonder of the Winter Garden after dark.
The evening ends in the North Pole Lodge, where you can gather with friends and loved ones for festive food, drinks, live piano and candlelit singalongs.
-
No. Winter Garden After Dark is a separate evening experience created especially for adults.
There is no private visit with Santa and it is not designed as a children’s grotto experience. Instead, it is a grown-up Christmas night out, with falling snow, magical pathways, festive drinks, sharing food, music and candlelit Christmas atmosphere.
-
No, Winter Garden After Dark is not strictly adults only, but it is very much designed as a more grown-up Christmas evening.
The experience has a more adult atmosphere, with festive cocktails, wine, prosecco, communal trestle-table seating, live piano and a candlelit singalong in the North Pole Lodge.
Alcohol will be available, so we recommend it for adults and older guests rather than young children.
-
Winter Garden After Dark takes place in the historic walled gardens of Fulham Palace, London.
The experience is set within the same magical Winter Garden world, but transformed after dark for an intimate grown-up Christmas evening.
Your evening begins with a glass of something festive before you step through the wardrobe and into the Winter Garden.
You’ll follow a snow-filled path through gently falling snow, twinkling lights and magical moments hidden along the way, before arriving at the North Pole Lodge for festive drinks, sharing food, live piano and candlelit singalongs.
It is an immersive Christmas experience designed to help grown-ups fall in love with Christmas all over again.
-
Festive food and drinks will be available throughout the evening, including sharing platters, seasonal drinks, wine, prosecco and Christmas cocktails.
We strongly recommend pre-ordering your festive sharing platters and drinks when you book your tickets, through our Christmas Feast bundles. This is the best way to make the most of your evening, with food and drinks ready for you to enjoy when you arrive in the North Pole Lodge.
You will also be able to purchase drinks on the night, but pre-ordering is the easiest way to settle in, raise a glass and enjoy the magic without having to think about a thing.
-
Exact timings cannot be quoted, but guests should expect the evening to last approximately 2 to 3 hours.
This gives you time to enjoy the snowy garden journey, drinks, food, music and the North Pole Lodge atmosphere without feeling rushed.
-
Part of the experience takes place outdoors in the walled gardens, including the snowy pathway and magical garden journey.
The North Pole Lodge area will provide a more sheltered, atmospheric space for festive food, drinks, music and singalongs.
Please dress warmly and wear suitable footwear for a winter evening. Festive sparkle is, of course, very welcome.
-
We are working carefully with Fulham Palace to make the experience as accessible as possible within the historic gardens.
Some areas may include uneven outdoor surfaces due to the nature of the site. If you have specific access requirements, please contact us before booking so we can advise and support where possible.
-
Because capacity is so limited, private group bookings may be possible only by prior arrangement.
Please contact us as early as possible if you are interested in booking for a group.
-
Tickets are non-refundable unless the event is cancelled.
Please check your date carefully before booking.
Tickets are subject to the terms and conditions of our ticketing provider.
As there are only two After Dark evenings and capacity is extremely limited, exchanges may not always be possible.
