# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Online Talk: Celebrating a Victorian Christmas – Elizabeth Gaskell, Charles Dickens, the Brontës
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 03 Dec, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Step into the festive season to discover how some of your favourite Victorian writers celebrated Christmas, from Elizabeth Gaskell’s ‘jollification for the servants’ to that original master of yuletide writing, Charles Dickens.

We take a look at Boxing Day magic tricks with Dickens as he turns ‘ladies’ handkerchiefs into candies’ and find that even Poet Laureate Alfred Tennyson enjoyed a live author’s reading of the classic A Christmas Carol. How did the Brontë sisters mark the season in isolated Haworth? What was the spiced cake that Charlotte Brontë took to her husband’s congregation? And can you guess which classic author most enjoyed a trip to the panto?

Sit back with a mince pie as we bring some festive cheer to you from Elizabeth Gaskell’s House.

‘‘Absolutely beautiful reading which really held my attention. I really enjoy these talks.’ Visitor to previous online event.
