Description
Student Life would like to invite you to a Victorian Christmas aboard the SS Great Britain.
Step back in time, discover a host of characters, including Old Father Christmas in his traditional robes, and walk into a winter wonderland complete with Christmas greenery and even falling snow.
To add even more festive cheer, there will be live music from a variety of choirs and or shanty bands. The live music and show will continue into the evening as the dockyard is illuminated by lamplight after 4pm.
Then come aboard the SS Great Britain to experience festive life at sea, from the scent of marzipan to the sight of traditional handmade decorations.
Please note the cost of the ticket does not include the cost to and from the venue.
