A Victorian Festival of Christmas 2010
Groundlings Theatre Company are delighted to once more take part in the prestigious event, A Victorian Festival of Christmas at Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard.

Friday 26 - Sunday 28 November 

10am - 6pm

Transport your family on a journey through time to experience a day out, Victorian-style, at the annual Victorian Festival of Christmas at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where snow is guaranteed. 

Whilst revelling in the traditional seasonal cheer of a white Victorian Christmas, your family can step back over 150 years to experience the strict rules of a Victorian school, sample hearty Victorian food, visit a traditional Victorian �green� Father Christmas, play parlour games, join in with novel bawdy music hall in Fagin�s Tavern and delight in traditional Christmas carols, street and fairground entertainments.

Watch out for those pickpockets along the way, who will be joined by Fagin himself and a host of other colourful Victorian characters such as Scrooge, Mr Bumble and the event will get the Royal seal of approval with a special appearance by Queen Victoria. 

Wander through the European-style shopping village, Victorian Street, Georgian colonnades and discover superb quality gifts, fine crafts, festive food and drink at the biggest Christmas market on the South Coast. 

Tickets: Adults: �12.50, Seniors: �10.50, Children: �10.50

Family (up to 5 people, max 2 adults/seniors): �37.50

The ticket price includes entry to all the festive entertainment on site plus the historic ships and museums.

Each year, the Festival recieves in excess of 30,000 visitors over the three day event, and it is Groundlings' job to entertain all of those people.

Every year, we need more and more people to help with the event, as it grows. 
We need set builders, costume makers, people who can sew, painters, actors, chaperones, technical crew, general helpers and many more. You don't need any experience, as full training is given, and there is always a job to be done to suit your capabilities.

If you would like to help out, then please ring us on 023 9273 7370 or email us at info@groundlings.co.uk, stating how you would like help out.
