A CHRISTMAS CAROL
This festive season, gather close and join us for A Christmas Carol which blazes with ghosts, grit and generosity. A story of reckoning and redemption. Of shadows that speak. Of a heart that must break open to be transformed.
Step into Dickensian Bristol on Christmas Eve. Frost on the cobbles. Bells in the cold air. A city poised on the longest night.
Music cuts through the chill. Stories flare from the darkness. Past, present and future collide. Expect the moments you love, re-forged with laughter, live music and theatrical magic – all unfolding in the unique, in-the-round intimacy of Tobacco Factory Theatres.
Haunting, joyful, and urgent, this thrilling new adaptation by Carl Grose, directed by Heidi Vaughan and Lydia Cook, is unleashed through the watchful eyes of Jacob Marley and his unruly band of spirits. It promises to be utterly mischievous, menacing and full of festive fire.
This is A Christmas Carol for now: a fierce, heart-lifting reminder that even in the longest night, light can be found.
Bring family. Bring friends.
Leave glowing with the spirit of the season.
“Bah! Humbug!”

GIVE THE GIFT TICKETS:
In the last year, Tobacco Factory Theatres Charitable Arts Trust has welcomed thousands of people onto our Get Involved programmes as writers, performers, choir members, or young people taking their first steps into theatre. Whether it’s through subsidised tickets for young people from Bristol to enjoy live theatre for the first time or the many sessions we offer to learn new skills and get creative, we deliver invaluable experiences to people of all ages and backgrounds, particularly those who might not otherwise be able to afford to do it.
By purchasing a Give The Gift Ticket, you’re helping others experience the magic of theatre.
