About Dickens World
Dickens World is a themed attraction based on the life and works of Charles Dickens. The attraction offers an interactive, multi-sensory experience, whereby visitors can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of 19th century England.
Visitors can enjoy a journey of discovery as they meet some of Dickens’ most well-known and best-loved characters.
It is based around the life of author Charles Dickens, briefly a resident of Chatham as a child and who, as an adult, lived at Gads Hill Place in nearby Higham. Many of the locations and characters in his novels are based on buildings, places and people of the Medway Towns; for example Holcombe Manor was the inspiration for Dingley Dell, the house in Pickwick Papers.

“I have none of the tenderer-than-thou
Collectivistic regimenting love
With which the modern world is being swept.”
