49 Doughty Street. Just as Dickens was known to entertain his guests in his own Drawing Room so will you experience this performance in a similar setting within the Museum. The performance space can be accessed via the lift.
Doors will open 10 minutes prior to the start time. Due to the small size of the theatre space, no latecomers will be admitted.
Detail:
Enjoy Dickens’s enchanting masterpiece within the unique setting of his only surviving London home, now the Charles Dickens Museum.
Come face to face with Ebenezer Scrooge as he flies off on his ghostly journey – and experience, as never before, this story’s unrivalled power to chill the marrow, tickle the funny bone and reawaken us to the true meaning of Christmas.
A yearly tradition at the Charles Dickens Museum, James Swanton’s celebrated performance has been praised by The Reviews Hub as an ‘electrifying one-man show’ that is ‘spellbinding from start to finish’ (★★★★★).
A Christmas Carol is a heart-warming seasonal treat like no other – and advance booking is a must, as it always sells out.
