The Great Christmas Feast Returns to The Lost Estate

The Lost Estate’s iconic Christmas Carol experience is back. The Great Christmas Feast, a festive essential in London’s winter calendar, is now on sale for 2024 and will run from 8 November to 12 January in West Kensington.

Be transported to Victorian London, Christmas Eve 1843. Witness A Christmas Carol like you’ve never seen it before. Indulge in three courses of an extravagant Victorian feast.

Immersive Storytelling and Live Performances

As night draws in, let Charles lead you and your fellow guests through a critically acclaimed, immersive production of Dickens’s timeless tale. This remarkable performance is accompanied by cinematic live music and a carefully curated three-course Victorian feasting menu.

Sold out over six years, The Lost Estate (The Great Murder Mystery, The Greatest Night of the Jazz Age) presents their one-of-a-kind retelling of A Christmas Carol for 2024. This festive phenomenon brings together London’s leading talents in theatre, music, mixology, and fine dining to create an unforgettable immersive experience that has guests flocking back year after year. It has joined the ranks of London’s best-loved and most in-demand Christmas attractions, each year bringing fresh brilliance to this winning concept—from elevating the dining stakes with ever-more-extravagant menus to dazzling performers who capture the crowd’s imagination.

Star-Studded Direction and Cast

At the helm for 2024 is acclaimed director Simon Pittman (Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre, Next to Normal Immersive), returning for his third Christmas in a row. He is joined by the unparalleled Alex Phelps, also back after his star turn last year garnered rave reviews.

Alex takes on one of the most demanding roles in modern theatre—not only the narrator, Charles Dickens, but a host of other much-loved characters in this thoroughly unique, now-definitive staging of A Christmas Carol.

Exquisite Victorian Menu by Executive Chef Ashley Clarke

The 2024 menu, devised by Executive Chef Ashley Clarke (Gordon Ramsay Group, SmokeStak, Temper Soho), is the culmination of years of Victorian feasting refined into one exceptional Christmas menu. For the starter, Clarke presents a decadent pressing of corn-fed chicken served with pickled beets and samphire relish. Next, an elegant confit Gressingham duck breast with all the trimmings. Finally, a rich Twelfth Night Cake accompanied by Christmas Pudding ice cream. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, with menus to be announced soon.

Victorian Cocktails from Charlie’s Cellar

Of course, Charlie’s cellar is open to all, with a Victorian cocktail menu that includes the return of the legendary Smoking Bishop, as well as the Pear Tree Cup. They are joined by many new delights from the mysterious Rumfustian to the urbane Marley & Rye.
