Cadw celebrates Christmas with Dickens

This year Cadw is celebrating Christmas at Castell Coch in an unusual way, marking not only the festive season, but also the 200^th anniversary of the birth of one of the greatest writers, Charles Dickens.

Celebrate Christmas differently this year and go back in time with Dickens

This special event will involve a seasonal assortment of readings from the works of Charles Dickens, followed by an authentic Victorian buffet supper, accompanied by harp music. The exclusive event will take place on 8 and 9 December at Victorian folly, just north of Cardiff.

Dr Ffion Reynolds, Public Engagement Manager at Cadw said, “An Evening with Dickens is a wonderful way to begin the Christmas season and to listen to readings from the well-known tale of Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim in the fabulous Drawing Room at Castell Coch.”
