Well that's a wrap on Dickens for another year! But our Christmas programme is just getting started.

Next up, our lively Family Carol Service, this Sunday afternoon at the church building in Crow Lane.

Come along for some family fun as we look at the Christmas Story — brick by brick. And don't forget your costume (for the kids.... and the adults, if you like!).

December is here! If you're in Rochester this weekend for the Dickens Festival, head over to Crow Lane, where we'll be performing some Dickens-inspired street theatre, as well as opening The Moat House Coffee Shop for an escape from the cold (and maybe even a spot of lunch!).

You *might* even spot some chestnuts being roasted — 'tis the season, after all!

It's that time of year again! We're so excited for all of our events over the Christmas period — kicking off in *very* traditional fashion with the Rochester Dickens Festival!

Join us over the weekend of 6–7 December where we'll be joining in with the Dickensian festivities — our coffee shop will be open all weekend, with regular performances of our adaptation of the classic novel, 'Scrooge', taking place in the street outside.

There'll also be pop-up carol singing as well as a chance to buy freshly-roasted chestnuts. If you want to nip inside for a bit, our side hall will be open as a picnic space where you can rest from the business of the Festival and use the facilities.

Whether or not you're joining us for Dickens, we'd love to see you at any of our Christmas events! If you have any questions, just pop us a message.
