Here's what you can expect:

Venture down winding lanes, into cozy parlors to sing, to shop, to waltz, to feast and toast the Merry Season! Here there are plays and magic, puppets and singers on 5 stages at no extra charge!

The ringing voices of street criers hawking their wares soar above the noise of the bustling crowd as they visit one hundred lamplit shops, each filled to overflowing with holiday gifts for sale: gorgeous glass, and hand carved wood, elegant clothing, fanciful hats, flowers and collectible dolls, keen metalwork, toys, games and sparkling jewelry by some of the finest craftspeople in California on display in a juried show. Talk to the artist!

The Victoria and Albert Music Halls theatre roars to life with the return of the Saucy French Postcard Review each evening at 5:00!  Children under 18 not allowed.  Join us for Dickens After Dark as London pubs glow with bright cheer. At every turn there are dance parties, plays and characters, music and merriment brought to life by hundreds of costumed performers surrounding visitors in a gigantic theatrically lighted environment.

"...sugared almonds beg to be carried home in paper bags! The blended scents of tea and coffee so grateful to the nose---the candied fruits are so caked with molten sugar as to make the coldest lookers-on feel faint!"

Feast on the savory food and drink of Victorian London: rich English roast beef, hot bangers and buttery mash, sweet and tipsy sherry trifle, luscious cakes, freshly baked cookies, hot meat pies, fish and chips, ales, stout, wine---even tea and dainty biscuits.
