A Dickens Christmas Open House

What if you could step into Christmas the way it was celebrated centuries ago — without ever leaving Mount Airy?

Imagine spending a December afternoon inside a warm 1756 parlor, surrounded by evergreen boughs, candlelight, and the timeless words of Dickens. Wouldn’t a glass of mulled wine in hand make the moment even more magical?

At Elk Run’s Dickens Open House — now celebrating 45 years of tradition — each ticket invites you to experience:

Wine by the glass

Hors d’oeuvres prepared by Set the Table

Live dramatic readings of Dickens and seasonal classics

Actors in period costumes, bringing Victorian Christmas to life

A historic Maryland home dressed in 1800s décor

A strolling troubadour filling the winery grounds with festive song

Doesn’t that sound like a perfect way to slow down during the busy season?

With performances between 1–4 PM, seating in the parlor is limited — would you prefer to reserve your spot now rather than risk missing out?

Bring the family. Make memories. Rediscover Christmas as it once was.
