A Christmas Carol

Booking Info

Following a critically acclaimed run in 2023, Mark Gatiss’ retelling of Dickens’ winter ghost story returns to haunt Alexandra Palace again in 2025.

Frozen in time with beautifully preserved original features, the wonderfully atmospheric Alexandra Palace Theatre provides the perfect setting for audiences to enjoy one of the most famous and beloved Christmas stories ever told. Filled with Dickensian, spine-tingling special effects, prepare to be frightened and delighted in equal measure as you enter the supernatural Victorian world of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

It’s a cold Christmas Eve and mean-spirited miser Ebenezer Scrooge has an unexpected visit from the spirit of his former business partner Jacob Marley. Bound in chains as punishment for a lifetime of greed, the unearthly figure explains it isn’t too late for Scrooge to change his miserly ways in order to escape the same fate, but first he’ll have to face three more eerie encounters…

VENUE INFORMATION

Alexandra Palace

Alexandra Palace Theatre Alexandra Palace Way London N22 7AY

The story of Alexandra Palace Theatre is truly unique. Opened in 1875, the Theatre was a place of spectacle and delight where audiences of up to 3,000 people were entertained by pantomime, opera, drama and ballet. A feat of Victorian engineering, the impressive stage machinery was designed so that performers could appear, fly into the air and disappear through the stage.
