For the first time, Jupiter Artland is open throughout the Winter season. Christmas at Jupiter brings together art, landscape and festive tradition across nine consecutive days from 6 – 14 December 2025, transforming the park into a Festive Village alive with light, sound and winter magic, alongside a programme of outstanding contemporary visual art.
A truly unique and creative alternative for all ages to enjoy all the festive favourite activities within Jupiter’s iconic landscape, Christmas at Jupiter offers an alternative to festive fanfare, where the traditions of Christmas are blended with contemporary and creative flair.
This year, Jupiter Artland will be transformed into a Festive Village that will be open daily alongside the annual programme of bespoke activities, including Santa’s Grotto, the ELF workshop in MAKE Studio, Christmas Film screenings and S’mores Village, where you can enjoy hot chocolate and gooey marshmallows around a fire pit.
Cafe Party will be open daily, and will offer a festive themed Afternoon Tea including Cava and a gift from the Festive Shop, available to pre-book.
In addition, at the weekend the experience will include the popular Christmas Fair – the new Glasshouse space and Lower Steadings will be the perfect place to discover thoughtful gifts, meet independent makers and soak in the festive atmosphere.
Across Jupiter Artland, you are invited to explore a range of experiences including a Live Nativity Scene, speciality wreath making, christmas tree cutting and choir singing on the terrace.
Nicky Wilson, Director, Jupiter Artland, said: “We are delighted to be open through Winter for the first time, and to also extend Christmas at Jupiter to a nine-day event across the Artland for visitors to enjoy the festive atmosphere while discovering outstanding contemporary art.
“Join us to dine with friends at Cafe Party, bring your family to enjoy festive treats and creative activities or experience new artworks by Tai Shani, Georg Wilson and Florence Peake – there is something for everyone this season.” –
Meanwhile, organisers invite you to explore Jupiter Artland’s exhibitions programme through which three renowned artists draw upon the earth, folklore, mythology, love and both the human and nature around us.
The programme includes The Earth Exhales by Georg Wilson, marking her first UK institution presentation (above); Florence Peake’s newly commissioned To Love and to Cherish, a new floor painting in the Glasshouse developed from a performance in August 2025 and The Spell or The Dream by Tai Shani, a remarkable multi-faceted work inviting audiences to collectively dream of new horizons.
The Spell or The Dream (2025) was commissioned by and developed in residence at Somerset House Studios. The commission was made possible with Art Fund support.
Across the landscape, you will also discover many other well known works including by Tracey Emin, Anya Gallacio, Phyllida Barlow, Ian Hamilton Finlay and more.
