The evening spotlights live holiday performances, Hosted by Mr. Charles Dickens himself with characters in Dickens attire, old-fashioned caroling and an authentic Father Christmas. Storytelling will take place for kids of all ages. In addition to the entertainment, hot cider and cookies will warm cold tummies and hands, and a huge table of craft supplies will be available for families to make that special holiday decoration. The Queen Anne style mansion, decorated in her winter holiday finest, is the perfect setting to enjoy a nostalgic holiday dream of music, food, stories, and crafts. We invite you to step back in time and experience an authentic Christmas Carol in Victorian grandeur. This annual event is a benefit for our own auxiliary, the Cultural Affairs Service League.
