Are you the curious sort? Fun-loving? Would you enjoy a cool way to expose one another to a vastly different, yet familiar place, time, and life-experience, which really existed, a century and a half ago? Are you interested in having a truly novel, fascinating experience, alone or with friends and family -- something to remember for years? Would you enjoy deepening your feel for the human condition and how it has changed over time? Would you enjoy exploring a range of gifts and foods and events which you might not see anywhere else? Do you appreciate the literary genius of Charles Dickens -- or want to?
PURPOSE
This weekend, my family and I spent Sunday enjoying this event -- and what a fine, unforgettable event it was -- we're still talking about it. I just thought you should know, rather than not.
IN A NUTSHELL
Lots of enthusiastic volunteers, all dressed in authentic period-costumes, play-acting as Londoners of the late 19th Century. Irish and other folk dancing, British military and civilian costumes -- ranging from richest to poorest classes, ladies in corsets, roving minstrels, stage performers and skits, authentic food, clever gift innovations, fascinating clothes and accessories, and much more.
MORE IMPRESSIONS
A place full of happy people, Christmas carols, Temperance Leagues, and generous wishes of "Happy Christmas." It was well worth the money, in our view -- and very inexpensive, considering all you get.
Well, you get the idea.
