Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol at Theatre by QE2
About this event
- Step into a bright, joyful twist on Charles Dickens’s Christmas classic as A Christmas Carol comes to life at Theatre by QE2 this December 2026. Join Bob Cratchit on a magical whistlestop tour of Victorian London in this heart-warming and hilarious adaptation of Charles Dickens' beloved Christmas classic. Ebenezer Scrooge counts his money while Bob Cratchit scrabbles around for scraps. The joy of Christmas rings out across London, but not within Scrooge's cold and gloomy house. Everything changes on Christmas Eve when Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley. What follows is an extraordinary adventure through the night as Scrooge is taken on a journey through the Past, Present and Yet to Come, forcing him to confront the choices he has made and the future that awaits him. Will Scrooge see the error of his ways before it's too late? Will Tiny Tim receive the Christmas present he's always dreamed of? And will Mrs Cratchit manage to finish her cake in time for the big day? There's only one way to find out! This enchanting production celebrates the true meaning of Christmas: kindness, generosity and the joy of being together. It's the perfect festive treat for children and grown-ups alike. Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol comes from the same creative team who brought you The Great Christmas Elf Bake-Off, The Great Elf Escape, Sinbad The Sailor, Around the World in 80 Days and The Wizard of Oz. Suitable for ages 3+ Running time: Approximately 2 hours (including interval). Early booking is recommended.
