Dickens Festival 2022Cllr Howard Doe, the Medway Council's deputy leader and portfolio holder for housing and community services, is reported in the Kent Messenger as saying that the Dickens Festival 2022 will take place over the Bank Holiday weekend on June 4 and 5. This will follow on from the Spring bank holiday on Thursday 2nd. June and the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday on Friday 3rd. June. 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!
Such was the success of the Mistletoe Ball that the team have sent a follow-up email to everyone, but there are a couple of small errors.The word 'Facebook' has been lost from the reference to our Facebook group - if you are a FB member find the 'magnifying glass' search box on the top left of most Facebook pages and enter 'Rochester Dickens Insiders'. Also, as Sue said, we would love to see your photos, especially of the ball; the best way to send them is to the address given in Sue's email or on our contact page, and they will be shared here. 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
