Shutter up the windows, dim the candles, and settle by the fire for a spine-tingling Christmas ghost story — told by none other than Charles Dickens himself.
Choose between two of Dickens’s classic tales: A Christmas Carol, the timeless story of Scrooge’s redemption, or The Haunted Man, a darkly atmospheric Gothic gem. Both stories conjure a world of rattling chains, eerie apparitions, and the unforgettable Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet To Come.
Performed by James Swanton, star of BBC’s Inside No. 9 and Lot No. 249, whose acclaimed Dickens performances have captivated audiences from the West End to the Charles Dickens Museum. Expect chills, laughter, and wonder in equal measure.
An early festive treat and a beloved York tradition — haunting, heartwarming, and pure Christmas spirit.
