Step away from the rush of the festive season and lose yourself in one of the greatest Christmas stories ever written.Set within the authentic Victorian surroundings of The Monastery’s Great Nave, this atmospheric storytelling evening invites you to experience Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol as it was meant to be enjoyed: gathered together, listening to every word as the timeless tale unfolds.
Narrated by Finlay Tyson, Dickens’ unforgettable story of Ebenezer Scrooge is brought vividly to life through the power of live storytelling, transporting audiences from the bustling streets of Victorian London to Christmas Yet to Come.
During the interval, warm up with a glass of spicy mulled wine or festive fruit punch, accompanied by a mince pie, before settling back to enjoy the second half of this much-loved classic.
(Vegan and alcohol-free options available)
In a season often filled with screens, shopping and endless distractions, this is an opportunity to slow down, share an evening of storytelling with family and friends, and rediscover the simple pleasure of listening together in one of Manchester’s most remarkable historic buildings.
Arrive a little early to soak up the Monastery’s festive atmosphere, explore its beautiful architecture and begin your Christmas celebrations in truly memorable surroundings.
