About this event
CB Jackson brings Dickens’ extraordinary story to life before your eyes. In a remarkable performance, the whole cast is played by one-man. In a faithful recreation of the story the characters interact and scenes twist and turn, Marley’s Ghost, Bob Cratchit, Belle and of course Scrooge himself are there with you.
The tale opens with Scrooge’s Counting House and builds the atmosphere for the dramatic arrival of Marley’s Ghost at Scrooges’ apartment. Before we know it, the Ghost of Christmas Past is upon us and we fly through time to Scrooge’s lonely childhood and the tale unfolds.
CB Jackson has toured this remarkable One-Man show through East Anglia, appearing before audiences in person and on BBC Radio. No other story so perfectly captures our Christmas traditions; no other character tells it like Ebenezer Scrooge; and no other venue is as perfect as the Food Museum for telling it.
Make your Christmas the best Christmas. If the turkey isn’t perfect and shopping for presents is hard work, at least you’ll have seen A Christmas Carol like you’ve never seen it before!
Saturday and Sunday 13 and 14 December and Saturday and Sunday 20 and 21 December.

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. Take advantage of the museum’s annual pass and visit the museum throughout the year, or upgrade to a membership to join in with weekly Toddler Time sessions and access discounts and entry to events.
Dog Friendly
Dogs on leads are welcome at the museum and in all buildings apart from Abbot’s Hall, Crowe St Cottages, Bone Building and Alton Watermill, with the exception of assistance dogs which are welcome throughout.
