Celebrate a Victorian Christmas at the SS Great Britain

By Martin Booth  Saturday Dec 11, 2021

If you want guaranteed snow and a sight of Santa this year, look no further than the SS Great Britain.

Their Victorian Christmas Weekends taking place until December 18 and 19 will feature a wintry dockyard with falling snow and a cast of historic characters from the Ragged Victorians living history group.

There will also be a special Father Christmas on board among the traditional handmade decorations, dressed in Victorian green robes.
