A Better Woman
// 1-19 Dec
It’s never too late to
make the wrong
choice. Tom is
searching for the one.
In fact, now in his
forties, he’s been
searching for the one
for quite a long time.
After a few romantic
near misses, he turns
to the world of online
dating to find someone
to grow old with. With
the help of his despairing neighbours he embarks upon a series of eventful
dates with a series of very different women in search of the perfect companion.

Dickensian
Christmas
// 5-6 Dec

Chris Ramsey:
All Growed Up
// 3 Dec

An enchanting
weekend of traditional
Victorian Christmas
festivities. Packed with
shopping stalls,
Rochester becomes a
feast of Victorian
delights. There are
lamp-lit parades,
carols to be sung,
Father Christmas to be
met and even a
guaranteed snowfall, framed by Rochester’s fairy-tale cathedral and castle.
Rochester’s Dickensian Christmas has been held annually since 1988,
which is fitting as Medway held such a special place in Charles Dickens’
life and work. The writer spent five of his childhood years in Medway from
1817 to 1822. He returned for the last few years of his life, dying at Gads
Hill in 1870.
10am. Price: Free

biggest stand-up tour
yet! Following sell-out
runs of his last three
UK tours, Chris is back
with a brand new show

with being dragged kicking and screaming into modern adulthood.
