Cuddly Corgis will be hidden around a Grade I Elizabethan house to help get visitors into the jubilee spirit. 

The search for The Queen’s Corgis will take place at one of the most impressive and distinctive buildings in historic Rochester – Eastgate House.

Over the years the beautiful Tudor mansion, which inspired Charles Dickens, has been used as a Victorian boarding school, library and is now a museum.
