We LOVED 58th Street in March, the 1930s Jazz experience. We’re looking forward to Le Chat Noir in September and now we’re getting excited to immerse ourselves in Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, at the Great Christmas Feast!
As candlelight flickers, Dickens himself welcomes you as his honoured guests, weaving his ghostly tale around you, each spellbinding word brought to life by cinematic live music …
London’s iconic Christmas experience returns for an 8th magical year in a row. Created by The Lost Estate (“London’s immersive heavyweights” – The Standard), The Great Christmas Feast is a breathtaking blend of Victorian feasting, enchanting live music, and spellbinding theatre. It transports you to the gaslit streets of Victorian London and to the home of Charles Dickens, where you prepare to witness the birth of his timeless classic, ‘A Christmas Carol’.
Mouthwatering plates of Victorian gastronomy and befuddling festive cups are brought forth as you marvel at every new wonder. A theatrical starter—straight from the bustling street markets of Victorian London—followed by the centerpiece: a lavish duck dish accompanied by traditional Victorian trimmings. The feast concludes with the spice-laden dessert that encapsulates the essence of Yuletide celebrations. The ‘most magical night of Christmas’ awaits…
This is a world‑class immersive event, only‑in‑London experience – now in its 8th SELL OUT year!
THE MENU Each year, The Lost Estate scours forgotten Victorian archives and lost culinary manuals, searching for a new Dickensian feasting menu.
Under Executive Chef Ashley Clarke (Formerly of SmokeStak, Gordon Ramsay Group, Temper Soho. Now, The Lost Estate), they spend months testing and perfecting, creating a transportive, mouthwatering 3-course love letter to Christmas in Victorian London…Mouthwatering plates of Victorian gastronomy are brought forth as you marvel at every new wonder.

DIETARY REQUIREMENTS The Lost Estate are committed to providing vegetarian, vegan and free-from options within their three course menu. Due to its complexity, please be precise with dietary requirements on your booking details, giving ample notice to make provisions for these requirements.
Dress Code: A formal evening out in Victorian London!
There’s no formal dress code for The Great Christmas Feast – however, we encourage guests to dress as they would for a formal evening out in Victorian London! Guests are at the heart of every Lost Estate experience, and are as much a part of creating the world as our performers, set design and menus.
Classic Dining The quintessential Feast experience. Revel in the spirit of Christmas at our ‘classic’ shared tables in a great position for a great immersive experience. Indulge in a lavish three-course festive banquet and be transported by an enchanting Christmas Carol experience. Companions will be seated together in our group, on tables of 4, 6 or 8. Please indicate your table size preference (if any) on the booking form. All places are on a first-come first-serve basis. Please feel free to reserve a ‘solo’ place as we will have tables big enough to accommodate everyone!
AVAILABILITY: We aim to keep an ‘exclusive’ feel to this event, so we only have a limited number of places, but as we think this will be really, really popular, being our only festive event this year, more places than Le Chat Noir & 58th Street have been reserved!
As usual, The Great Christmas Feast is not the easiest of places to get to in London on your own, unless you go overnight – which is such a hassle, so why not make it easy on yourself and join us on our small coach?
IF booked with Le Chat Noir (20 September): £100pp deposit plus 2 instalments of £90pp
Dietary Requirements: Vegetarian, vegan, and free‑from options available.
Guests must submit dietary requirements a minimum of 72 hours before the performance, but please state on booking form.
