When you think of an Old English Christmas most of the seasonal images that immediately spring to mind belong to the Victorian era. Snowy landscapes, beautifully decorated fir trees, chirruping Robins and mountains of festive food nostalgically take us back to a time when Christmas really was celebrated in style. Queen Victoria was personally responsible for a number of our traditional seasonal customs and the great author Charles Dickens created an image of Christmas in his world-famous novels that colours every aspect of our modern day celebrations. "A Victorian Christmas" has been designed to take you on a fascinating journey of discovery, exploring the traditions and customs of this most significant mid--winter festival. From feasting to game playing, carol singing to gift giving, the Victorians stamped their hallmark on Christmas for all time. So, sit back, relax, take a cup of good cheer and enjoy a very merry, Victorian Christmas.
