Discover Victoria’s Seaside Christmas this festive period at Kensington Palace. Join the future Queen Victoria and her family as they spend Christmas in the seaside town of Ramsgate, Kent.

To mark 190 years since Victoria’s seaside festivities, decorations and displays at Kensington Palace will capture the magical atmosphere of the young Princess’s seaside surroundings.

Along the way, you will encounter the sailors and fishermen Victoria met on her trip and enjoy a spectacular model pier scene as the centrepiece of a Christmas feast.

Explore where Victoria stayed and the activities that kept her entertained during the visit. View beautiful floristry and take in a display of trees hung with bespoke seaside decorations, surrounded by period-style gifts. Step into a pop-up postcard inspired by a wonderful shell grotto and take your seat for a magical Christmas photo.
