Edna is well known for her W.W.2 wartime Christmas talk and display but during the festive period Harry & Edna are often asked to use their late Victorian / Edwardian skills to create a festive atmosphere.

Edna has developed 'a Dickens of a Christmas' which was a themed trail originally devised at the request of the Cowper and Newton Museum.

December is traditionally a slow time for museums so the Cowper and Newton museum wanted to run a themed event which would be part of the Dickensian themed Christmas festival.

Edna developed a trail featuring the main characters from the classic Dickens novel "A Christmas Carol".

Visitors are invited to become Ebenezer Scrooge and explore the 18th century museum trying to locate the characters from the famous Christmas story.

The characters were created using a mixture of Harry and Edna's own props and the host museums own artefacts.

Visitors found Tiny Tim by the fire place, Jacob Marley in his chains and of course the 3 ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet to come.

To ensure that 'a Dickens of a Christmas' generates extra visitor numbers Edna positioned herself outside the museum wearing a late Victorian / Edwardian costume to encourage passing potential visitors to enter the venue.

This event proved so successful in generating extra visitor numbers we are pleased to offer Edna's interpretation skills and ability to create 'a Dickens of a Christmas' at other venues.
