A Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh production
Chill winds sweep through the gas-lit streets of Victorian Edinburgh as Dickens’ beloved classic comes to life at The Lyceum for our 2026 festive season.
On Christmas Eve, three mysterious spirits whisk Ebenezer Scrooge on a whirlwind journey through his past, present, and future. Will he discover the true meaning of Christmas before it’s too late?
Directed by our Award-winning Artistic Director, James Brining, let this festive classic melt the cold and fill you with cheer - join us for a Christmas tradition in the making.
These performances are for school groups only. Tickets will not be available to the general public.
The running time of the show will be confirmed during November. You can then use these final timings to confirm any transportation drop off and pick up schedules.
