🎄A Christmas Carol Being a Ghost Story of Christmas The Old Town Hall’s resident company, the award-winning Dyad Productions, (Lady Susan, A Room of One’s Own, I, Elizabeth, Austen’s Women, Female Gothic) who have toured their sell-out festive show Christmas Gothic since 2015, now bring their magic to Dickens’ classic and perennially relevant ghost story.

📖 THE STORY
It’s Christmas Eve, and the miserly misanthrope, Ebenezer Scrooge, is about to have a ghostly night he’ll never forget. Dickens' festive, immortal tale of redemption and compassion is brought to life in Dyad’s inimitable solo style.

Draw near for an evening of mistletoe and merriment in the company of Marley, Fezziwig, and Cratchit et al to discover the true meaning of Christmas: tenderness for the past, courage for the present, and hope for the future.

Ebenezer lives in us all, and this glorious tale reminds us how not to give in to the Scrooge within.

Taking inspiration from Dickens' original performances of his own work and utilising the brilliant narrator of the novel to bring the story to life, the piece is performed Andrew Margerison (Frantic Assembly’s Fatherland, Macbeth), and directed by Rebecca Vaughan. Created in collaboration with The Old Town Hall.

DRINKS AND SNACKS
We have a selection of hot and cold drinks, as well as a variety of snacks available in our Gallery Bar. Food is allowed inside the auditorium, but cold and hot drinks are only permitted inside the auditorium in plastic glasses or with a lid.

Other events on this day


Time: 18:45 - 22:30 Price: £45.00

🔥 For generations, our ancestors have sat around fires and looked into the flames for meaning... Since the earliest days of humanity, a spiritual link has developed between fire's cleansing energies, meditative qualities, and raw power. Inseparably bound to our physical needs of safety, light, and warmth, working with fire is a tangible link to our earliest days and beliefs.

It is with great pleasure that we offer our informal evening of self-empowerment, reflection, and ancestral stories, working directly with the elemental energies of fire.

✨️WHO IS THIS FOR?
The evening is for people who wish to have a meditative and holistic opportunity to work directly with the element of fire and the teachings it can give.

✨️NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED
No previous meditation or Firewalking experience is necessary as guidance and support will be given throughout. If you are already experienced in working with the spirit of fire or Firewalking, this is an amazing opportunity to work within a group experiencing the ancestral teachings and spiritual nature of fire.

For those looking solely for a Firewalking experience please look at our events for our empowerment walks held every second month or contact us regarding our next charity Firewalk.

✨️WHAT TO EXPECT
The evening will start with discussions, support, and reflection, before the opportunity to work directly with the fire in preparation for a Firewalk, based on the practices of our ancestors.

We run genuine firewalks, you will be in no doubt when you stand by the coals, that they're in the region of 1200F (that's enough to melt aluminum). This is an amazing opportunity to step up and find out just how amazing you are.

Working holistically towards self-empowerment we aim to laugh, have fun, create lasting memories and experiences in a relaxed informal atmosphere.

Supporting you to step up, whilst allowing you space to grow, release and move forward into a more self empowered future.

✨️ END TIME
Due to the nature of the event and working with fire, end timings are relatively flexible. You must be over the age of 18 to attend this event. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

🎸 ABOUT
Maruja is an evocative force that transports listeners to a world of diversity and gritty realism. Improvisation provides the backbone of Maruja’s compositions, compelling instrumentation and culturally relevant lyrics speak in tongues; creating a myriad of whispered secrets. For the better part of a decade, they have relentlessly honed their craft, pouring over every note with a precision that borders on the obsessive.

It is not just a passion that drives them but rather an all-consuming need, a force that compels them to create and perform with a visceral intensity that is both electrifying and terrifying. Knocknarea is the debut project from the 4 piece and is the highest rated EP of 2023 on Rate Your Music and Album of The Year.

⭐️ A REVIEW
Anthony Fantano reviewed the project, stating “the performances are tight, the spoken word passages are edge of your seat, the guitars and saxophones are really dynamic and fantastic...” He goes on to say, “...this EP, there’s so much potential, there’s so much good material... I have no doubt with something of this quality right out the gate, we’re gonna have an even better album down the pipe. Definitely check this EP out because this thing is fire!"
