Dickens Festival

  Dickens Festival is one of the most famous festivals in England. If you come to the town of Medway, Rochester in England between May 28 and June 6, you will find you are back to the Victorian Days. The town is crowded with people, as so many people come to the town from all over Britain. They all wear Victorian clothes: men with tall hats and women in long skirts. They are celebrating the annual Dickens Festival, because it was here that Charles Dickens spent his childhood, held his wedding and died not far from here.

  A special train called Mr. Pickwick sends people from London to Rochester. Then at the railway station of Rochester, people will see all the characters from Dickens' novels come alive and walk through the town. A lot of scenes from Dickens' novels are performed not only on stages, but in the streets and bars. The biggest attraction is, of course, the Dickens Center, where people can see replicas of the nineteenth century and how Charles Dickens lived.

  The climax of the Dickens Festival is in the big church where people hold service in memory of the great writer Charles Dickens.
