Each year, the first weekend of December brings Victorian festivities to Rochester in the form of a Dickensian Christmas, where you can experience street entertainment, readings, song and dance. You’ll be captivated by Dickens’ characters as you explore the literary journey that was the great writer’s life. Each day there are parades through Rochester and the magnificent surroundings of Rochester Cathedral and Castle and guaranteed snowfall create a charming scene. 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.
The next Dickensian Christmas will take place on Saturday, 4 and Sunday, 5 December 2010.
