Watch A Christmas Carol brought to life at Charles Dickens birthplace
Charles Dickens’ famous festive tale of ghosts and redemption is to come alive at his Portsmouth birthplace, on Old Commercial Road, where visitors can discover ‘A Christmas Carol’ story.
Dressed to follow the tale of Scrooge, Charles Dickens’ Birthplace will come alive with sounds, expertly performed by actor Vincent Franklin, best known for his performances in Happy Valley, The Bodyguard and Cucumber.
Vincent, who is performing a one man show of A Christmas Carol at Thornden Hall in Chandler’s Ford, has recorded lines from the book to give visitors an amazing experience as they walk around the house.
General admission to Charles Dickens’ Birthplace Museum is free for Portsmouth residents, who will need to show a proof of address. There will also be ‘A Christmas Carol’ themed trail (£2 or £1 for leisure card holders) and those that take part will get a sweet prize.
The museum will be open 18 / 19 / 20 / 21 and 28 December 10am until 4.30pm. Booking is essential, call 023 9283 4779.
