90th year, June 2027

Broadstairs Dickens Festival 2027

The town's long-running Victorian festival marks its 90th year in 2027, with costumed events across the town centre and seafront.

11-13 June 2027 · Broadstairs, Kent

Charles Dickens holidayed in Broadstairs for over twenty years and set part of David Copperfield here, and the town has run a festival in his honour since the 1930s. 2027 marks the 90th year, three days of Victorian costume, a costumed parade, readings, a Victorian bandstand concert and street entertainment across the town centre and seafront.

Alongside Folk Week in August, this is Broadstairs' other headline weekend, and a milestone year tends to draw more attention and more visitors than a normal one. For owners with a property in or near the town centre, it's worth pricing and preparing for well ahead of June 2027.
