Dickens Fair at Home: Cratchit's Yard

Each weekend, and on Christmas Eve, we will release new content here - see dates below.

Invoke the spirits of Christmas Past and Christmas Present with "A Christmas Carol" read by Mr. Dickens himself.
Gather to sing in the parlour, or dance in the kitchen! Find favorite Fair music, videos, and the one and only Coventry Carolers in spirited song!
Discover delicious recipes from merry old England and serve up holiday favorites with Dickensian flair!
Entice your creative spirit (and young hearts) to make playful holiday gifts with instruction from Fair artists.

And we invite you to…

Shop online for lovingly crafted gifts to delight both family and friends...and to help our artist community by purchasing from a crafts community that is struggling through the cancellation of a year's worth of events.

The first content will be published on Saturday, November 21. Peruse the schedule below to plan for your fun!

A warm holiday welcome from our namesake, the illustrious author Mr. Charles Dickens.

Be moved to tears or to action as Mr. Dickens himself reads Part Five of his ghostly novella.

Create these festive table decorations filled with trinkets, toys - and oft times, terrible jokes or puns.

Delightfully rich and flaky - a highly guarded secret until now!

A traditional topping and the crowning glory to gingerbread, plum pudding or rum cake.

Dark, sticky, and dense - this isn’t your mother’s fruitcake...
