Step into the world of Charles Dickens for an unforgettable weekend of theatre, storytelling, exceptional dining and festive atmosphere at The Royal Hotel.
Following the outstanding success of our previous Dickens House Party, we are delighted to welcome back Charles Dickens’ great-great-grandsons, Gerald Dickens and Ian Dickens, as our hosts and performers for this very special event.
At the heart of the weekend will be Gerald’s world-renowned one-man performance of A Christmas Carol, his most celebrated production and a performance enjoyed by audiences across the UK, the USA and around the world.
Together, Gerald and Ian will also share entertaining extracts, family stories and fascinating insights into Charles Dickens’ life, work and enduring connection with the Isle of Wight.
A wonderfully atmospheric weekend
Expect a weekend filled with warmth, humour, storytelling and festive spirit.
Gerald Dickens is renowned for bringing his great-great-grandfather’s characters vividly to life through his energetic and captivating one-man performances.
He will be joined by his brother Ian Dickens, an Isle of Wight resident and joint guardian of the Dickens family legacy, who will share personal stories and insights into their famous ancestor’s life and time on the Island.
Combined with beautifully crafted dining from The Royal’s award-winning kitchen team, this promises to be a truly memorable pre-Christmas escape.
