All l want for Christmas: Christmas shopping in Victorian times
- Monday 8 December, 12.15pm (doors open 12 noon)
Free, all welcome. Booking required.
Step back into Christmas’ past for a special edition of Munch & Listen, with guest speakers from History on the Move!
Many of the Christmas traditions we know and love today – trees, cards, crackers, and gift giving – were established by the Victorians. The High Roads of today, bustling with eager shoppers racing to tick off their long lists of Christmas shopping, might seem a world away from the 19th century. But we’ve more in common than you think!
Come along to the Castle and find out how to prepare for Christmas the Victorian way – complete with a ‘taster’ of our festive past…
Please book your free ticket for this talk via Eventbrite.
