Rochester Day Out

On a coach day trip to Rochester in Kent, step into a city steeped in history and bursting with character. Begin your visit with a stroll through the cobbled high street, lined with quirky shops, antique stores, and charming cafés. Explore the towering Rochester Castle, one of England’s best-preserved Norman fortresses, and wander through the stunning Rochester Cathedral, rich with centuries of architectural beauty. Literature lovers can follow in the footsteps of Charles Dickens, whose legacy lives on throughout the city. Take time to relax by the River Medway or enjoy a traditional pub lunch before heading home.

At Christmas, Rochester transforms into a magical festive wonderland. The city glows with twinkling lights and the aroma of roasted chestnuts and mulled wine fills the air. The famous Dickensian Christmas Festival brings the streets to life with costumed characters, Victorian market stalls, and carol singers, all creating a nostalgic and enchanting atmosphere. Wander through the Christmas markets for handmade gifts, enjoy seasonal treats, and take in the festive entertainment, from street performances to light parades. It's a truly unforgettable way to experience the holiday spirit in a historic setting.
