The Great Christmas Feast

About

The Great Christmas Feast is London’s most anticipated immersive holiday event, returning each year in a living Victorian house that doubles as a theatre and dining room. Guests are invited to step into Charles Dickens’ home and experience an evening of interactive storytelling, live music, ghostly theatrics, and a sumptuous three‑course Victorian feast. The event blends classic theatre with gourmet food and a uniquely festive atmosphere, offering an experience that feels both theatrical and intimate. With creative productions, skilled actors and a masterful menu crafted by Chef Ash Clarke, the Feast creates a memorable night that appeals to theatre lovers, foodies, families, and history enthusiasts alike. The schedule runs from mid‑November to early January, with evening performances starting at 7 pm (doors 6 pm) and matinees at 1 pm (doors 12 pm). The show lasts approximately three and a half hours, providing ample time for narrative, meals and atmospheric immersion. It is a highly popular event, so early book‑in is recommended if you desire seating during peak periods. The Lost Estate’s venue is fully accessible, with wheelchair‑friendly entrances and accommodations available on request. Although drinks are not included in the ticket price, optional welcome drinks and a complimentary dessert are part of the Royale and Circle packages. Tickets include a complete Victorian feast, seating for the live performance, and access to all sound and lighting effects. For a truly authentic experience and to avoid crowds, plan to arrive early and book in advance.
