Welcome to Victorian London ... Tonight, you are Dickens’ guest of honour as he unveils a ghostly Christmas story. A legendary night of bewitching storytelling, festive feasting, and Yuletide mixology awaits ... What will you explore first?

Charles Dickens – writer, performer, occasional magician – is preparing his famous annual feast at his home near Regents Park.

This year is very different. Charles has spent months stalking the City at midnight; locked in his study, weeping and gaffawing at who knows what; ushering vast theatrical machines into his home in the pre-dawn light.

Tonight, you, and his other guests, will discover why. For tonight, ‘A Christmas Carol’, the greatest festive tale ever told, will be born.
