Move and Sketch with Christmas at Tower of London

Join Trapped in Zone One for an inclusive Move and Sketch at Tower of London this winter, explore a royal celebration with specially created displays that showcase how kings and queens of the past celebrated the festive period.

As you roam the fortress, learn about King Edward I's lavish medieval Christmas feast, discover the spectacle of festive entertainment at the Tudor court, and sit upon a throne for a regal family portrait.

And, experience the spirit of a Victorian Christmas, meet the Tower postman as he attempts to deliver a last-minute gift and join in a giant game of pass-the-parcel.

Enjoy festive music played by the Southwark Waits musicians, including a magical performance of ‘A Visit From St. Nicholas’, a special Victorian poem that popularised Father Christmas as an important festive figure.

Please note, performances are weather permitting.

The aim of our session is to improve confidence in walking on a more regular basis, boost mental wellbeing and give participants safe opportunities for social interaction.
