What could be jollier? It’s 1827 and the streets are thronged with hundreds of costumed characters. Everywhere you look there are top hats and frock coats and bonnets and hooped skirts. Yes, it’s Christmas time in Charles Dickens’ home town. Welcome to the best Dickens Christmas Festival in the world. And there’s guaranteed snow! Let alone a parade and a candle-lit carol service. And not forgetting – our exploration – our walking tours – of Dickens’ Rochester.
