This coming Sunday, Faversham steps back into the Victorian age and Victoria's Sponge will be there to cater to all your delicious cake needs!! Brownies, Squares, Slices and Tea Loaves will await you and we will be in Full Victorian Costume, as will every stall holder.
From 10am to 3pm, Market Place and Court Street will be filled with the sights, sounds and characters of a traditional Victorian Whitsun Market & Fair - with Punch & Judy, wandering Dickensian singers, traditional market stalls, tarot readings, a Victorian coconut shy, fairground atmosphere and plenty more besides.
Expect music drifting through the streets. The occasional cry of “That’s the way to do it!” from the Punch & Judy booth. Costumed characters appearing around corners. And a town centre that suddenly feels as though it has slipped backwards in time.
The event is free to attend and forms part of a full day of Victorian-themed entertainment in the town.
Then, at 4.30pm, the day continues with acclaimed actor and writer Gerald Dickens - great-great-grandson of Charles Dickens - appearing live at The Assembly Rooms with an entertaining afternoon of Dickensian performance and storytelling.
One day. One town. And rather more top hats than Faversham usually sees in a year!
Sunday 24th May
10am–3pm
Market Place & Court Street, Faversham.
