Rochester Dickensian Christmas Festival

Sunday 3rd December


Meeting at Thurrock Services @ 10.30am



This two day festival takes place every year in Rochester (Kent). Street entertainers, christmas market, carol singers and a candelit parade with costumed characters and festival participants, that finishes at Rochester Castle where there is snowfall

Chris (97Cataluyna) and I are hoping to go along ......anyone else want to join us? Thought it might be a nice ESC family outing to get us all into the festive spirit.

Parking gets a bit busy for this weekend but there are a few park & ride places near by....one being at the Dockside Outlet Centre (shopping time ladies! )

Best place will be to meet at Thurrock Services as that is on route / easy for all to get too. As for time, suggest meeting around 10.30am to give us time to get down there and get parked and get into the town......?

(you can find out more about the day on Medway Council - Events
