Dickensian Christmas
Each year, during the first weekend of December, 
Dickensian Christmas comes to Rochester, where the
streets are alive with entertainment, readings, song and
dance.
Packed with shopping stalls, Rochester becomes a feast of
Victorian delights. There are lamp-lit parades, carols to be sung,
Father Christmas to be met and even a guaranteed snowfall, framed
by Rochester’s fairytale cathedral and castle. You’ll also see some
familiar, fabled characters from Dickens’ much-loved stories.
Rochester's Dickensian Christmas 2012 will take place on
Saturday, 1 and Sunday, 2 December 2012. Rochester’s
Dickensian Christmas has been held annually since 1988, which is
fitting, as Medway held such a special place in Charles Dickens’
life and work.
