Over the festive season each year, Grosvenor Square in the heart of Mayfair is lit up with over 30,000 illuminated white roses.
People are invited to dedicate a rose in memory of a loved one, whilst making a donation in support of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, but hurry as the garden closes tonight (Weds 18th Dec 2024).
About the garden
Since first opening in 2019, the Ever After Garden has raised over £870,000 for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
Royal Marsden Cancer Charity Trustee and designer Dame Anya Hindmarch said:
“The Ever After Garden was born out of the need to pay tribute to those we have lost during the year.
It was an idea originally conceived with Camilla Morton in memory of Michael Howells and is named after the film for which he designed the sets.
However this garden should be personal to everyone. For me, it is also in memory of my Aunt Elizabeth Hindmarch.
My wish is for this to be a place to reflect at Christmas in amongst all the festive cheer, and in doing so raise money for the incredible institution that is The Royal Marsden.”
