Tickets Alert: Charles Dickens museum on Christmas Eve

Arguably the home of Christmas, the Charles Dickens Museum is the sort of place to visit before the Ghosts arrive to scare Scrooge in the evening. Open throughout the year, they pull out the festive decorations for Christmas and have a special open day on Christmas Eve where they'll be playing adaptations of A Christmas Carol throughout the day. Traditionally decorated in an authentic Victorian style, the Charles Dickens Museum evokes the nostalgia of a Dickensian Christmas.
