Have you ever wondered why The Historic Dockyard Chatham closes every Christmas? For over 400 years, Dockyard workers past and present have been keeping a heavily guarded festive secret.
All over the world, dockyards just like ours are on high alert during the festive season. Hidden deep within the Historic Dockyard is a Secret Sub-Station, concealed from plain sight. Here, a crew of ingenious elves is stationed, ready to jump into action should Father Christmas run into trouble with his sleigh, need help with his Santa-Nav, or locate a child staying away from home.
The elves are thrilled that humans will be passing through the Sub-Station, though some have been up to mischief.
The Secret Sub-Station elves have been working on marvellous new inventions inspired by the trades and history of the Dockyard. Among them are The Festive Fertiliser, The Perfect Present Wrapper and The Master Cracker – each designed to make Christmas run smoothly.
