The Great Dickens Christmas Fair & Victorian Holiday Party is the first major event of 2021 we’re aware of to officially cancel in person and postpone until 2022.

2021 Great Dickens Christmas Fair Cancelled
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the cancellation of this year’s in-person Great Dickens Christmas Fair. Given the new and evolving impacts of the highly transmissible Delta variant on large indoor events, we cannot safely produce our traditional live Fair in 2021. The safety of our participants and the public is of the greatest importance, and while disappointing, we hope you understand we’re taking this step to do our part in keeping our larger community safe.

As we work toward production of a full and festive return of The Great Dickens Christmas Fair in 2022, plans are underway to present a second season of the tremendously popular Dickens Fair At Home. Details on this virtual event and other safe yet festive alternatives will be announced soon – be sure you are on our email list so we can keep you informed!

The annual 360-degree adventure into a recreation of Charles Dickens’ London with over 800 performers started in 1970 promises that “special 2021 magic is afoot!” so there likely will be a virtual event like took place last year.
