This event is fully booked but you can join the wait list here
Perhaps the most famous Christmas ghost story of all time, A Christmas Carol was personally abridged for performance by Charles Dickens himself – Dickens would tour, reading the abridged version live.
It’s this version of A Christmas Carol that we present for you this evening. Our readers are Colin and Janette Sykes, with John Pengelly and Peter Labrow from The Friends of Chadkirk.
We would suggest that this is not suitable for younger children, who could grow restless, but we don’t discourage families and their attendance is at your discretion. There are, of course, adult themes of death.
Tickets for this event are free, but we would encourage donations on the night, to go to local charities. Please do not book tickets ‘just in case’ but only if you intend to come. The chapel is small and if people don’t turn up not only does it stop others enjoying the event, even a couple of empty tables can affect the atmosphere! And we do want atmosphere!
Tickets are fully taken for this event, but in the event of cancellation, you can add yourself to our waiting list.
Refreshments will be available, including Prosecco, beer and wine (cash only).
Please note that this is a reading/storytelling, not a play.
