The performance
A classic tale by Charles Dickens, this well-known story follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a cruel, cold-hearted businessman who gets an opportunity to change his ways. Visited by four spirits, he’s shown how his life and the lives of those around him will end-up should he continue to live solely for financial gain.
The story connects characters’ attitudes toward food and toward Christmas, signifying the generosity and fellow-feeling the Christmas season invokes. Scrooge’s former employer Fezziwig provided plenty of food for his employees and other guests at his Christmas party. There will be mulled wine and mince pies on route!
This is a promenade performance, some inside and outside, so please wrap up warm and wear sensible footwear to walk around our beautiful site. There will be plenty of opportunities for resting throughout the performance and plenty of opportunities to get involved too!
Performance time is around 1 hour, but can change slightly due to the interactive nature of the piece.

About the Venue
The Food Museum, located in Stowmarket, aims to connect people with where their food comes from. We explore themes connected by food – social, historical, technological, industrial, environmental – and give visitors hands-on experiences which bring collections alive, teach skills and create memories.
The museum is set across 75 acres of glorious Suffolk countryside, with 17 fascinating historic buildings to explore and a collection of over 40,000 objects used to tell broad and inclusive stories. See working demonstrations of milling inside mid-18th century Alton Water, visit our demonstration kitchen and sample the day’s offerings, or join us on a tour of the Dairy Cottages as part of your visit.
With an annual programme of events, exhibitions and activities, there’s plenty for visitors of all ages to enjoy.
