With the Christmas holidays around the corner, we’re excited to invite you to join us at the Dickens Festijn in Deventer, where the enchanting town transforms into the 19th-century world of Charles Dickens.
More than 950 characters from Dickens’ famous books come to life, including Oliver Twist, Scrooge, Marley, and Mr. Pickwick. Vagabonds beg, thieves steal, and the air is filled with the scent of punch, puffed potatoes, and roasted chestnuts. Wealthy ladies and gentlemen, adorned with top hats, parade through the streets. Christmas Carol Singers serenade door to door. The festival’s backdrop features historical buildings, houses, Christmas trees, and thousands of twinkling lights. The romantic era of Dickens not only unfolds in the streets but also behind windows, inside houses, and within the charming shops and galleries.
The Dickens Festival attracts over 125,000 visitors annually. Please be aware that the waiting time at the entrance can be up to 1.5 hours.
