Happy Birthday Mr Dickens!

Join Miriam Margolyes, Lucinda Dickens Hawksley and the Charles Dickens Museum to celebrate the birthday of Charles Dickens.

On Sunday 7 February, Miriam and Lucinda will hold a party - via Zoom - looking at Dickens’s novels and letters, and discovering how Dickens celebrated his birthday. Miriam will also perform some of her favourite moments from her critically acclaimed show Dickens’s Women.

This is a live event and you can pop questions in Q&A bar throughout and they'll be picked up in the Q&A session at the end.

Zoom is required to take part in this tour and discussion. A link to the Zoom session will be emailed to registrants the day before the session.
