12 Festive treats for winter
10 - 23 December 2026
This December, Chapel Arts Studios will glow with creativity as we present
12 Days of Winter Aglow, a welcoming winter programme for adults, children, young people and families.
All events will take place in our beautiful building, a hidden gem of Andover, which will be transformed into an immersive frosty winterscape.
Running from 10–23 December, the programme brings together art, music, storytelling, wellbeing and seasonal traditions from around the world. A packed programme including festive printmaking, folk art, winter sensory play, a restorative Yule Eve wellbeing day, an evening of Festive songs, and even Christmas Ghost stories, there will be plenty of opportunities to make, discover, connect and celebrate together. Father Christmas himself will be telling festive stories from all around the world.
