Dickens Bicentenary Birthday Posted by Kate on February 4th, 2012
Charles Dickens was born 200 years ago today. He was born in Portsmouth and, to mark the occasion, the Charles Dickens Birthplace museum has been opened earlier in the year. There is also a special exhibition at the City Museum called ‘A Tale of One City’ which will show what life was like in Portsmouth during 1812 – 1870. This exhibition will run until Sunday 4th November 2012. On Sunday 5th and Tuesday 7th February there will be free admission to the museum. Both days will have a range of activities plus celebrations in the street including street performers, musicians, food, craft activities, readings.
