Sold out over six years, The Lost Estate (The Great Murder Mystery, The Greatest Night of the Jazz Age) present their one-of-a-kind retelling of A Christmas Carol for 2024. This festive phenomenon brings together London's leading talents in theatre, music, mixology and fine dining to create an unforgettable immersive experience that has guests flocking back year after year. It has joined the ranks of London's best loved and most in-demand Christmas attractions and each year brings fresh brilliance to this winning concept. From upping the dining stakes with ever-more-extravagant menus to dazzling performers who capture the crowd's imagination.

At the helm for 2024 is acclaimed director Simon Pittman (Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre, Next To Normal Immersive) returning for his third Christmas in a row. He is joined by the unparalleled Alex Phelps, also back again after his star turn last year garnered rave reviews. Alex takes on one of the most demanding roles in modern theatre – not only the narrator, Charles Dickens, but a host of other much loved characters in this thoroughly unique, now-definitive staging of A Christmas Carol. 

The 2024 menu, devised by Executive Chef, Ashley Clarke (Gordon Ramsay Group, SmokeStak, Temper Soho), is the culmination of years of Victorian feasting refined into one exceptional Christmas menu. For the starter, Clarke presents a decadent pressing of corn fed chicken served with pickled beets and samphire relish. Next, an elegant confit Gressingham duck breast with all the trimmings. Finally, a rich Twelfth Night Cake accompanied by Christmas Pudding ice cream. Vegetarian and vegan options are available and the menus will be announced soon.

Of course, Charlie's personal cellar is open to all, with a Victorian cocktail menu that includes the return of the legendary Smoking Bishop, as well as the Pear Tree Cup. They are joined by a number of new delights from the mysterious Rumfustian to the urbane Marley & Rye.

Cinematic live music from Steffan Rees fills every corner of the enchanted home of Charles Dickens – brought to life with 5000 sq ft of sets constructed by legendary immersive designers Darling & Edge (Gingerline, Secret Cinema, Crystal Maze).

With December 25th just over 100 sleeps away, do not miss the chance to secure the best night of Christmas, cultivated and perfected year after year. Gather friends, family and loved ones to share in the wonder, storytelling and indulgence of The Lost Estate's most iconic experience yet – and remember! Marley was dead: to begin with.
