The Lost Estate’s iconic annual immersive dining show, The Great Christmas Feast, will return this festive season – and it’s time to get tickets. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Great Christmas Feast: What, When, Where & How To Go
What Happens At The Great Christmas Feast?
The Great Christmas Feast is an annual immersive dining experience created by The Lost Estate. It has become a festive essential in the Christmas calendar, drawing on traditional festive themes and inspired by Charles Dickens’ timeless festive novel, A Christmas Carol.
Set in a magnificent dining room, guests are transported back to Christmas Eve, 1843. As the night draws in, Dickens himself guides you through his timeless tale, and guests tuck into an exceptional Victorian-inspired three-course Christmas dinner while the story of Scrooge plays out around them with theatrical performances and cinematic music to boot. Meanwhile, Charles’s personal cellar is also open for all with a creative Victorian cocktail menu, including the legendary Smoking Bishop and the Pear Tree Cup alongside new delights like the mysterious Rumfustian and the urbane Marley & Rye (note that cocktails are not included in the ticket price).
Acclaimed director Simon Pittman (of the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre) is back for his third year this Christmas, joined by actor Alex Phelps following rave reviews in 2023. Running for around three and a half hours, it’s an unparalleled evening of Christmas magic.

What’s On The Menu?
Executive Chef Ashley Clarke has worked hard perfecting the 2024 menu. It includes:
- Starter: Pressing of corn fed chicken with pickled beetroot and samphire relish
- Main: Confit Gressingham duck served with thyme and confit garlic roast potatoes, artichoke puree, mulled cabbage, orange and duck jus
- Dessert: Twelfth Night cake served with plum pudding ice cream
Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options will also be available.
