“Dickens Fair” at Home Virtual Festival on Christmas Eve Final Day

Red Barn Productions is pleased to announce Dickens Fair at Home, a free online Christmas compendium that brings home the magic of the Great Dickens Christmas Fair & Victorian Holiday Party – a beloved Bay Area holiday tradition. Like most other in-person events in 2020, the Great Dickens Christmas Fair was forced to cancel its 2020 season. But beginning Saturday, November 21 fans of the Dickens Fair will be able to visit a new section of the Dickens Fair website and be treated to a variety of holiday opportunities to play at home. New content will be added weekly and each weekend brings different delights. Guests will have free access to videos from Fair favorites like Charles Dickens reading A Christmas Carol, traditional Victorian songs from the Coventry Carolers (with downloadable sheet music), Punch & Judy puppet shows, craft projects, children’s stories, and so much more. Other treats include downloadable recipes such as cinnamon roasted almonds, brandied eggnog, and roasted chestnuts.

Famous for its handcrafted artisan gifts, visitors can also purchase one-of-a-kind treasures online directly from nearly 50 Dickens Fair artisans! Holiday shoppers are encouraged to support the Dickens Christmas Fair arts community by purchasing these unique wares handcrafted by generations of talented and dedicated craftspeople.

Dickens Fair at Home will culminate on Christmas Eve, December 24 with “The Hallelujah Chorus” sing-along with the Fezziwig Family, a full reading of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, and Father Christmas reading and responding to children’s holiday wishes.
