Dickens Christmas Faire

Delight
in holiday festivities even Scrooge would love at the 2nd Annual Dickens
Christmas Faire
. Presented by St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, 678 Enos Way, Livermore,
the Dickens Christmas Faire will be held Saturday, November 30 from 10 am to 5
pm and Sunday, December 1 from 12 noon to 5 pm. Admission is $10 per person for
both days, with children 5 and younger free. Proceeds benefit a variety of
programs serving the community.

Stroll
the streets of Olde London where crafters ply their wares; browse a selection
of handmade crafts, soaps, jewelry, pottery, hand carved wooden toys, gifts,
and more. Live performers will enact scenes from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol throughout the weekend, with dancing and musical entertainment
between acts. Costumes are encouraged.

High
Tea will be offered both days. Seatings are at 4 pm, and the cost is $15 per
person. For those hungry before teatime, a hearty ploughman’s lunch, soup,
pasties, or scones may be purchased from the lunchroom; adult beverages will be
available at Miss Mattie’s Pub.
