The oldest Dickens Festival in the world, Broadstairs the historic seaside town, steps back in time for one weekend. Enjoy costumed characters, Victorian Fayre and theatrical displays.
Broadstairs has a huge variety of eateries, many of which lean into the spirit of the weekend.
The festival is across many of our wonderful locations and each of these are plotted across our town map where you will be able to see all the events going on:
We welcome coach parties. If organisers are wanting more information please contact us through the Contact section of the website.
