Dickens After Dark

Away from the hustle and bustle of central London, hidden in a little corner of Bloomsbury, No.48 Doughty Street provides a unique setting for a truly Dickensian experience. For one evening only, the Charles Dickens Museum joins Museums at Night, with the former home of the great author opening its doors to evening revellers for a delectable evening of Victorian entertainment... Back by popular demand, there are readings by Michael Slater from the infamous books penned in the house, whilst in the shadowy basement kitchens, costumed butter churning demonstrations reveal the secrets of Catherine Dickens original recipes. And as if that weren’t enough to tickle your fancy, there will be classic film screenings showing throughout the evening. Meanwhile the rest of the shadowy Georgian interiors are open for twilight browsing and The Library Bar awaits in the neighbouring house; with flickering candlelight, live acoustic guitar and a beautiful hidden walled garden waiting to be discovered. To top off your Victorian encounter (and soak up the gin!) local Victorian watering hole The Lady Ottoline are offering guests of the Charles Dickens Museum a 20% discount on their delicious locally sourced food menu.
