This festive season, join Behind the Door Productions at Greyfriars for a one-man performance of this Christmas classic. This highly immersive and atmospheric production of A Christmas Carol captures the joy, humour and darkness of this traditional piece. A true festive classic, told as Dickens did to friends and family at Christmas time, this one-man performance is not to be missed.

Tickets £16.00 per person, available to purchase online via the link, or in person from the reception at Greyfriars.

The performance will be held in the hall. Greyfriars gets quite chilly in the winter, so please remember to wrap up warm, and bring along a cushion if you think you'll need it.
