Come along and join in the Festive fun with a variety of workshops for both adults and children, sing songs and walkabout entertainment. Try your hand at making Dickensian Christmas Cards (Decoupage), Christmas crackers, festive lanterns and Pomanders. Children will be able to make period ‘hobby horse’ type Reindeer and masks to take home too.


Bring on the festive cheer with popular festive songs and carols from the Victorian era, audiences can sigh at the fate of street urchins, cheer at the triumph of goodness over adversity and be chilled to the bone by the macabre tale of the Mistletoe Bough.


See amazing juggling skills with fire, balls and clubs and slack rope balancing and watch our fabulous Penny Farthing Bicycle in all its glory. Children can sit on the bicycle to have their pictures taken and learn about Victorian technology and transport.


Time Traveling duo Professor Weft and Ms Warp arrive from the Christmas celebrations of 1888 and travel around the town playing carols in their incredible "Time Machine". Don’t forget to watch out for Dodge and Fagin at Stafford Market and see Hodman Dodmanot & Sally Forth in The Guildhall Shopping Centre.
