23rd November 2012 - Portsmouth Dickensian Festival

This family favourite event set in the atmospheric dockyard surroundings, steeped in history, is the perfect way to start your festive season celebrations and preparations!

Be magically transported into a Dickensian-style bygone era of beautiful snowy streets and experience a taste of days gone by with a magic lantern show, Victorian dancing and a host of colourful characters including chimney sweeps, suffragettes, wenches, Victorian gentry and Fagin with his gang of pickpockets.
Browse for unique gifts and festive food at the Christmas markets.

The young (and young at heart!) will delight in visiting the traditional Father Christmas (dressed in green) and relish the opportunity to take the reins aboard his sleigh. And we are sure Mother Christmas will not be short of helpers to look after the lovable baby reindeer, Bubble and Squeak, as they prepare for Christmas Eve.

Entrance to the Dockyard attractions included in the price:
HMS Victory, National Museum of the Royal Navy, Mary Rose Museum, HMS Warrior 1860, Action Stations and a boat trip of Portsmouth Harbour

£29.50
