Mieville Historical Hunts Blog: Welcome to A Seaside Christmas!

At long last: Mieville Historical Hunts (MHH) proudly presents our annual December holiday event: A Seaside Christmas, Dec. 1-31, 2023!

Visit our quaint seaside market in Mieville Dickens and the Christmas retreat in Mieville Shelley for our Seaside Christmas! Enjoy a seaside holiday while you shop, explore the village houses, lighthouse, the church, take a boat ride, go skating, and more! And because this is Mieville, you know there will be plenty of dances, some special performances, and social gatherings. Open to all — join us for the fun! There is so much to do and see here! In this post, we'll help you get started with your shopping and explorations!

So, for starters, want to go shopping? The main Seaside Christmas Event landing takes you to the Mieville Dickens pier and its magnificent pier palace.

The Pier Palace at Seaside Christmas, Mieville Dickents

You'll find Event info and landmarks available there, along with a portal to help you teleport from place to place.

(There are also Seaside Christmas portals on other Mieville sims and at Mieville's Welcome Center on Mieville Doyle.)

Entering the Pier Palace at Seaside Christmas

Once you've arrived, just follow the red carpet and the pier (East) to enter the Event site's Dickens dock area and the village beyond.

Shops from most of the many participating merchants are located here on Dickens.

The market shops include charming boats, stalls, carts, booths, and small village shops! There are even a few shops underwater. Be sure to explore & visit them all!

And if you're lucky (or just persistent), you may catch sight of my pet swimming turtles! 🐢🐢🐢

They like to hang out by the boats, the ice fishing & skating area, and of course underwater. Be nice to them — they are shy! But I digress...

In addition, several HUGE shops are located on Mieville Shelley, right next door to Dickens! You can easily walk over there following a pretty path bordered by winter flowers, of use the portals, the links on the info notecard you can get at the Pier landing, or use the link right here. 😀

Besides visiting these shops at Shelley, you can explore the winter wonderlands these talented merchants have created across the entire sim - it's huge and there are many photo ops!

There are carousels and amusement park rides to enjoy, and you can even ride along with Santa on a flying sleigh!

Speaking of photo ops, I would be remiss not to mention there are so many lovely sites in Dickens! There are many large houses totally decorated for the holidays — please do feel free to enter and explore! There's also a church, an outdoor crèche, a lighthouse, village patio, and more.
