This winter, The Great Christmas Feast returns to The Lost Estate in West Kensington, inviting audiences to step into Charles Dickens’ parlour on Christmas Eve, 1843.
Running from 14 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, this immersive experience blends storytelling, live music, and Victorian dining to recreate the very first telling of A Christmas Carol.
Audiences become honoured guests in Dickens’ home, where the author himself—played by David Alwyn—narrates and performs the iconic tale, bringing Scrooge, Marley and Tiny Tim to life.
The production is accompanied by a cinematic live score composed by Steffan Rees and performed by Guy Button (violin), Beth Higham-Edwards (percussion), and Kieran Carter (cello), guiding the emotional journey of the evening.
Directed by Simon Pittman, The Great Christmas Feast is designed by Darling & Edge, transforming The Lost Estate into a snow-dusted Victorian realm complete with lantern-lit alleys and a gaslit parlour.
Guests will enjoy a three-course Victorian Christmas menu curated by Executive Chef Ashley Clarke, featuring dishes such as confit Gressingham duck leg, king oyster mushroom pithivier, and traditional Christmas pudding with brandy ice cream.
Seasonal cocktails—including the Smoking Bishop, Pear Tree Cup, and Rumfustian—are served from Dickens’ recreated cellar, enhancing the festive atmosphere.
Since its inception eight years ago, The Great Christmas Feast has become a cult hit, selling out every season and earning acclaim for its immersive storytelling and hospitality.
