Dickens Fair 2008

Earlier this month a small group headed back in time to Victorian London for Dickens Fair. We had a grand time!

We experienced: The Siamsa Scottish Dance Show, Mad Sal's Recreational Society Ladies, Morris Dancing, the incomparable Habbi'ru, a visit to the Absinthe Bar and the no-photo's-allowed Naughty French Postcards Review.

Here are a few choice pictures from our day... Enjoy

Habbi'Ru Middle Eastern Music & Dance performances:



Mad Sal's Dockside Alehouse


Scrooge & Ghost of Christmas Present


There were a few Steampunk 'characters' roaming about


Kisses from the Dark Garden (Victorian Corsetry) Model


Absinthe Bar
Zack poured our 'group' absinthe shot (Joe drank it & we just smelled it) and was quite engaging as he explained all the nuances of absinthe


And our final stop before heading home: Fezziwig's Dance Party
