The Dickens Christmas Market will take place in the beautiful grounds of Rochester Castle,  overlooking the River Medway and just a few steps from Rochester’s picture-postcard Victorian High Street, home to the ever-popular Dickensian Christmas Festival, attracting more than 80,000 people over the first weekend in December alone !

Just imagine the setting, the Castle walls illuminated in traditional Christmas colours, trees filled with twinkling fairy lights, the smell of roasted chestnuts and glühwein fills the air and an array of wonderful German style Christmas market huts selling a range of festive gifts and hand-crafted goods.  In addition to all of this, street entertainers and Dickensian characters mingle amongst the revellers, whilst carol singers welcome visitors as they enter the market with festive Christmas carols.
