Dickens Festival June 4th and 5th 2022
This year the country is celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee, and the Dickens Festival will be a little different! It will run over the Bank Holiday weekend from Saturday June 4th to Sunday 5th 2022 and form part of the Jubilee celebrations.
Tickets for The Royal Jubilee Dickensian Costumed Ball on Friday June 3rd at 7PM for 7.30 are available along with full booking information from the Medway Box Office. If you have already booked Sue has asked us to spread the word that there is a change in the menu. Click here to download or see the revised poster with full information. There is further general information about the ball on our Festival Highlights page. 'Visit Medway' have set up a web page for the weekend under the banner 'Dickens Festival 2022, inc Platinum Jubilee Live Site'. You can see an overview of Jubilee events round Medway from April to July on another page 'Queen's Platinum Jubilee' If you think all this merits a new costume we have also heard from Brian that the costume sale for the festival will be from 10AM to 3PM on on Saturday May 14th 2022. This year the sale will take place in the Princes Room of the Corn Exchange, which uses the High Street entrance 'under the clock'. Brian says that there he has heard from regular sellers that there are likely to be plenty of bargains this year!
If you aren't on our email list for information about the ball you can join, either through our contact page or by registering on our new registration page .
The Dickensian Christmas Festival 2021
This year the curtain-raiser was, as always, The Mistletoe Ball in the Queens Hall of the Rochester Corn Exchange on Friday evening. This was attended by 103 Victorian ladies and gentlemen, including our friends the steampunks from Great Kentspectations. This year the event was hosted by Sue Haydock and reports so far are favourable, with the meal particularly well received. We would be happy to share your pictures of the festival - click here for the link News about the 2019 Dickensian Christmas festival has moved to our news archive page
