About

The Great Christmas Feast transports guests back to Victorian London in the historic home of Charles Dickens, where a live reinterpretation of ‘A Christmas Carol’ unfolds amid sumptuous food, live music, and interactive storytelling. Guests arrive eight minutes before the opening doors at 6 pm for the evening performances (or at 12 pm for matinees), then settle into a shared, private, or VIP dining experience that boasts a three‑course Victorian feast curated by Chef Ash Clarke. The theatre‑in‑a‑house sets the stage for a multi‑sensory journey: period‑accurate décor, a full orchestra, charismatic actors, and the magic of Dickens’ narrative brought to life. The event runs from mid‑November to early January, with peak crowds around Christmas and New Year’s. Mid‑January offers a quieter experience. Whether you’re a history buff, a foodie, a theatre aficionado, or a family seeking a memorable holiday, this immersive soirée rewards anticipation with unforgettable ambience and the opportunity to step inside the pages of one of literature’s most beloved tales.
