We are delighted that FoodCycle has been selected as the charity collection recipient during this year’s production of A Christmas Carol at The Old Vic.
Performances will run from 10th November 2026 until 9th January 2027, and audience members will have the opportunity to make a donation to FoodCycle through post-show bucket and card collections.
As a registered charity itself, The Old Vic believes that it is vital to encourage all who visit to support others. Since 2017, over £2.3 million has been raised globally for food poverty and deprivation-focused charities.
Mark Game, FoodCycle CEO says
“FoodCycle brings people together through community dining, helping to overcome social isolation and food insecurity. With its themes of generosity, community and looking out for one another, it’s fantastic to be chosen as the recipient of charity collections for The Old Vic’s production of A Christmas Carol this year. Audience donations will help thousands of people come together over a nourishing meal and good conversation.”
About the show
Matthew Warchus’ big-hearted, smash hit production of Charles Dickens’ immortal classic returns to The Old Vic, joyously adapted for the stage by FoodCycle Patron Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, His Dark Materials) and starring Giles Terera (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Hamilton, Othello) as Ebenezer Scrooge.
A Christmas Carol fills the auditorium to the brim with mince pies, music and merriment. A unique staging immerses the audience in London’s longest running adaptation of this beloved festive favourite.
