Miss Havisham and Estella characters at the Dickens Festival. Rochester. Kent, England.
Medway is proud of its association with the writer Charles Dickens and the Dickens Festival has celebrated these lasting connections every year since 1978. The Rochester area was the inspiration for many of Dickens' greatest works. Indeed, Restoration House in Rochester was Satis House in Great Expectations, where Miss Havisham lived. Charles Dickens spent five of his childhood years in Medway from 1817 to 1822. He was an international legend when he returned for the last 13 years of his life, dying at Gad's Hill in 1870. During this annual event you will experience old favourites, from our wonderful parades, which are always full of colour and people dressed in fantastic Victorian costumes, to our competitions, street entertainment, displays and readings. The Dickens Festival's unique combination of music, dance, drama and street theatre
