Blacklane, an official partner of Chelsea Arts Festival, has launched a new package inviting festival goers to travel in chauffeur-driven style


The countdown is officially on for our inaugural blow out cultural celebration: Chelsea Arts Festival, taking over Sloane Square and the King’s Road from 18 to 21 September. To match the illustrious occasion, global chauffeur service Blacklane is launching a luxurious weekend package to deliver culture aficionados to all of the talks and performances their hearts desire during the festival. Here’s what you need to know about Chelsea Curated, plus how to book.

Blacklane’s Chelsea Curated Package For Chelsea Arts Festival 2025

Culture, wonder and joy: that’s the ethos underpinning Chelsea Arts Festival. And since we are taking over the streets of Chelsea – renowned for its fashion history – it is only natural a dollop of style is thrown in there too. (Talks with designer to the stars Zandra Rhodes and Britain’s first supermodel Twiggy are just the tip of the iceberg.)

But for comfort we’re looking to official festival partners Blacklane, who have created the ultimate Chelsea package to span the weekend. Think chauffeur by the hour service for two days, a luxurious hotel stay and exclusive access to a selection of Festival events, with an in-car goody bag to top it off (with books, vinyls, special gifts and more inside).

Catch Rupert Everett in conversation with Hannah MacInnes or Ian McEwan speaking with George Monibot – Stephen Fry emulating the voice of Oscar Wilde or Elizabeth Day celebrating her new novel with Marian Keyes.

Whoever you long to see on the jam-packed line-up, in-the-know Chelsea Arts Festival attendees will be hopping between the Royal Court Theatre, Saatchi Gallery and Cadogan Hall in first class style thanks to Blacklane’s premium cars, which are available to discerning travellers across six continents. Meanwhile the streets of Chelsea will come to life with roaming performances, live music and even ballet on Sloane Square’s bandstand.
