A field of 30,000 glowing white ‘roses’ takes up residence in London again this winter.
The Ever After Garden is an illuminated installation that raises money for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity via donations and dedications. The glow-up garden of remembrance offers somewhere to pause and reflect on absent friends and family, as the festive season gets under way.
Grosvenor Square was previously home to the Ever After Garden, but after it closed for a woodland transformation, the Ever After Garden moved to Duke Of York Square in Chelsea. Although the Mayfair square has since reopened, the Ever After Garden is back in Chelsea for Christmas 2026.
Anyone can dedicate a rose in memory of a loved one, for a suggested minimum donation of £15 per flower.
The first Ever After Garden was installed in Grosvenor Square in winter 2019 — created in memory of production designer and art director Michael Howells by his friends, fashion creatives Anya Hindmarch and Camilla Morton. The garden returned in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, moving to Chelsea in 2025. So far it’s raised £1.7m in donations.
The Ever After Garden is free to visit, but consider making a donation to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity if you can.
The Ever After Garden is at Duke of York Square in Chelsea, Thursday 5 November- Monday 21 December 2026. Illuminated daily 3pm-9pm. Visitors are encouraged to share images on Instagram, tagging @royalmarsden and @everaftergarden and using hashtag #EverAfterGarden.
