“A Taste of Dickens” a Hocking Hills Holiday Event

Celebrate the season with a Hocking Hills holiday event! Join Glenlaurel this holiday season for our annual Taste of Dickens dinner.

It’s only a short time when the spirit of Charles Dickens is expected to make his annual dinner appearance at Glenlaurel. Glenlaurel is absolutely beautiful every day, but the holidays assume a magical spirit that is hard to describe. Imagine hundreds of lights and decorations, a tree decked out with twinkling ornaments and sparkly lights, and a red-hot fire in the parlor. It’s a truly magical time of year and such a special time for Glenlaurel to celebrate with guests.

According to Charles Dickens, “it is required of every man,” the ghost returned, “that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide; and, if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death.”

Since Charles Dickens first published A Christmas Carol in 1843, many artists and storytellers have told the classic tale, although many have never experienced the story at Glenlaurel for A Taste of Dickens.

About the dinner
