Enjoy a magical evening of Christmas storytelling in Dove Cottage.

We’ll first meet in our stunning Museum, where we’ll take you on a short Christmas-themed tour and reveal the stories behind some of the special objects on display, including William Wordsworth’s ice skates. We will then make our way to candlelit Dove Cottage for festive readings, including Dorothy Wordsworth’s Christmas letters and journal entries, William Wordsworth’s winter poetry, and stories of Regency Christmas 200 years ago.

This event is designed for adults – for family events please see our Regency Christmas family workshops. Your ticket includes non-alcoholic mulled cordial and a seasonal sweet treat. Vegan and gluten-free options available on request.

If this event sells out please join the waiting list – if there is enough demand we may be able to schedule an additional session on 20 December.
