At our 23rd Annual Dickens Dinner, acclaimed storyteller Tim Lowry whisks guests away to Victorian England with his spirited performance of Charles Dickens’ beloved novella, A Christmas Carol. The evening includes a four-course dinner inspired by the story, thoughtfully prepared by Chef Marc Collins. Make your reservation soon–this event sells out quickly!
