22 Nov 2016
From 25th – 27th November Portsmouth Historic Dockyard will once again transport visitors to a bygone era where colourful characters and a traditional Father Christmas roam snow covered cobbled streets.
With its Christmas market, Victorian seasonal performances, festive food and end of day parades, it is no surprise that Portsmouth Historic Dockyard's Festival of Christmas has become a stand-out South Coast seasonal event. New for 2016 is an immersive character driven walk-through experience where visitors will meet a darker side of Christmas in Victorian times. Historic parts of the dockyard will transform into a Victorian style street, complete with coffin measures, ladies of the night, street urchins, market sellers and many more.

- Adult: £16.00
