Rochester Dickensian Festival

DICKENSIAN FESTIVAL

ROCHESTER HIGH STREET

Friday, June 3 to Sunday, June 5

Welcome to a weekend of colourful celebration, family fun and Dickensian discovery, as Rochester honours one of England's greatest writers.

Charles Dickens lived in Medway for almost 20 years, absorbing the area's architecture, character and colour and bringing it to fictional life in some of his best-known works. For over three decades the city has celebrated its proud association with Dickens and this year will host a family festival packed with Dickensian delight and Victorian intrigue.

Whether this is your first Rochester Dickens Festival or you're a regular, get ready for a feast for the senses. From costumed parades and street acts to competitions, readings and a fair, Rochester's streets and green spaces will be awash with entertainment.

Head to the Rochester Festival for lots of entertainment and fun!
