What the Dickens is going on at Barts?

Barts speakeasy bar in Chelsea presents ‘A Christmas Carol’ When: December 2011

Where: Barts, Sloane Avenue, Chelsea, London

What is it?

Chelsea speakeasy bar Barts presents ‘A Christmas Carol’ for the month of December.  In honour of the festive period, the speakeasy style bar will be transformed into a Dickensian dreamland, with Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim and Ebenezer Scrooge all on hand to spread some festive cheer.

From the moment they enter, guests will be transported to a Victorian winter wonderland straight out of the pages of Dickens’ most well-loved tale of festive cheer and redemption.  Staff will be dressed as characters from the novel and will be on hand to serve mulled wine, mince pies and lead sing alongs to everyone’s favourite Christmas carols with provided song sheets.

Barts is a quirky ‘speakeasy’ style bar on prestigious Sloane Avenue in the heart of Chelsea.
