Museum by Candlelight
Join The Fan Museum in heralding the festive season with the return of a yuletide fan favourite.
Dickens at Christmas
Distinguished author and actor, Richard Holliss, in the persona of Charles Dickens, reads extracts from his works by candlelight, in an entertainment written by Wayne Adrian Drew.
The event takes place on Friday 19th December 2025, 6:00pm-9:00pm.
Fan Making Workshops
We hold regular fan making workshops on the first Saturday afternoon of each month from February until December. These sessions are conducted by an experienced tutor who will not only provide expert guidance, but also a wealth of knowledge about the history and craft of fans.
Please note workshop spaces are extremely limited and in high demand; we advise booking early to avoid disappointment.
