Gad's Hill Place, Higham, ME3 7PA

Christmas? A poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of December!” exclaims Ebenezer Scrooge in the opening stave of A Christmas Carol.

For one weekend only join the Dickens Theatre Company in the unique setting of Gad's Hill Place, the former home of Charles Dickens, for their joyously authentic staging of this Victorian classic.

Two of Dickens' closest theatrical companions find themselves trapped in the footlights' glare. With the rest of the cast stuck on a train, actress Frances Ternan and Dickens' faithful tour manager George Dolby take on the daunting challenge of portraying over 30 characters! But, who will play Scrooge? 

Tickets are £30 per person and include refreshments on arrival, plus a glimpse of Dicken's study and other ground floor rooms before the performance starts. Please note that access to the house is only possible via stairs and could cause accessibility issues. Visitors park in the school's car park at the back of the house on Crutches Lane.
