- Visitor Information
- Events
The atmospheric Silent Night candle-lit tours of Dennis Severs' House are particularly fun at this time of year. The house was created by Dennis Severs to give an insight into family life in the 18th century and he lived here up until 1999 much as they would have done, without electricity. Through a series of special 'Silent Night' Christmas openings you can experience this spectacularly original 'living theatre' in London's East End by torch or candle light. You'll follow the Jervis family through the house, in silence, seeing signs of their presence - the smell of baking, a half-eaten apple, or similar - but never actually quite catching them. It'll make you want to drink mulled wine and sit by an open fire wrapped in a shawl. An unusual but entirely appropriate outing for Christmas. Booking essential for evening tours.To book email via info@DennisSeversHouse.co.uk or telephone 020 7247 4013.
About Dennis Severs' House
The brainchild of eccentric designer and performer, Dennis Severs' House at 18 Folgate Street captures, in a series of evocative snapshots, 18th century life as experienced by a family of Huguenot silk weavers. Built in 1724, Severs transformed each individual room within the red-brick Georgian terraced house into evocative tableaux vivants designed to draw the visitor into another world and another all-encompassing experience.
