Along the way, your host keeps the energy high with playful antics and audience interactions - yet pauses to deliver moments of transcendent acting from Dickens' most poignant passages, giving the tale its full emotional power.

What You’ll Experience

Green Man Brewery

"Marley’s Warning" - Kick off your adventure with award winning Green Man brews while your host Nigel Humbuggins sets the stage: Scrooge’s greed, Marley’s ghostly guilt trip, and the looming visit of three spirits. Because nothing says Christmas like your past, present, and future showing up at happy hour!

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Urban Orchard Cider Co

“The Ghost of Christmas Past” - Sip festive Urban Orchard ciders while Scrooge awkwardly revisits his bittersweet past: lost loves, missed chances, and that first spark of redemption. Think of it as a Victorian therapy session… with alcohol.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Wicked Weed Funkatorium

“The Ghost of Christmas Present” - Raise your glass of Funkatorium's funky sours or barrel-aged beers to shenanigans & holiday cheer. Humbuggins will conjure the Cratchits, Tiny Tim, and just enough holiday generosity to make you consider buying the next round… briefly.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Antidote Cocktail Lounge at Chemist

“The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come” - Finish your crawl with this Spirit looming over your 1920’s apothecary-style craft cocktails. Fate, shadows, and hauntingly delicious brews collide, sending the story to its thrilling conclusion, and leaving you wondering if ghosts prefer IPAs.
