Rochester Christmas Market is set in the spectacular Rochester Castle Gardens and held over 3 consecutive weekends at the end of November and beginning of December.
The market attracts around 250,000 visitors from all over Europe and is one of the best festive events in the UK. Located in the historic Rochester Castle Gardens, with over 120 stalls, the market is Kent's biggest free to enter public Christmas Market.
The focus of the market is to showcase traders with products and festive treats that can't be found on the High Street. This includes locally produced and sustainable gifts, clothing and homeware, and artisan goods and foods.
Shoppers can enjoy a variety of festive food and drink on offer within the Bavarian Village, watch live entertainment performed on the bandstand, and enjoy the family funfair.
