GETTING TO THE FESTIVAL
Frixo Road Traffic M20 Traffic
The official Dickensian Festival brochure is available by post, from the Visitor Centre, and in local outlets, as well as on the internet, well before the event, and we will link to it as soon as we can . (This is a 'PDF' file - you should be able to download it as long as you have 'Acrobat' installed). The brochure is is your ultimate travel guide, with a detailed map and 'Park and Ride' information. Brochures are also available from the Rochester Visitor information Centre and other local outlets. The Festival events almost all take place in the old town on the High Street between the bottom of Star Hill and the Medway road bridge, and around the Castle and the Cathedral (centred on postcode ME1 1LX). The town centre is well served by local car parks - most of the year! During festivals the demand increases enormously, and some car parks become unavailable because they have become part of the venue. If you are arriving independantly you are strongly advised to use the efficient 'park and ride' service, but be sure to check the times of the last bus. If you prefer public transport, the train station is within easy reach, there is a good bus service, and many day trips by coach are available. If you are making a weekend of it and don't live locally it may be worth finding a hotel near the town centre. There is no need to worry about finding refreshments, although things can get very busy at peak times. Move your mouse over the marker for travel directions |
