Cannon Hall
Living history and battle weekend organised by the 33rd Foot
About Cannon Hall Museum, Park and Gardens
For almost 300 years Cannon Hall was home to the Spencer-Stanhope family who made their fortune in the local iron industry. In the 1790′s the architect John Carr of York enlarged the hall and redesigned the interior.
In 1957 the Hall opened as a museum, and is home to a collection of art including ceramics, glass, furniture and Old Master paintings, displayed in the Hall’s Georgian and Victorian rooms. Highlights include Mrs Tuder by John Constable, Wheelback Chairs by George Hepplewhite and stunning ceramics by William de Morgan and Moorcroft.
The Hall also houses ‘Charge’, the Regimental Museum of the 13th/18th Royal Hussars (Queen Mary’s Own) and the Light Dragoons which is a must for anyone interested in military history. Refurbished with assistance from the Heritage Lottery Fund, it illustrates the part played by the Regiment in many major battles such as the Charge of the Light Brigade and includes memorabilia dedicated to Lord Baden Powell.

Rochester Summer Dickens Festival
Medway is proud of its association with the writer Charles Dickens and the Dickens Festival has celebrated these lasting connections every year since 1978.
The Rochester area was the inspiration for many of Dickens’ greatest works. Indeed, Restoration House in Rochester was Satis House in Great Expectations, where Miss Havisham lived.
Charles Dickens spent five of his childhood years in Medway from 1817 to 1822. He was a national legend when he returned for the last 13 years of his life, dying at Gad’s Hill in 1870.
The festival celebrates the great writer’s life with wonderful parades full of colour and people dressed in fantastic Victorian costumes, to competitions, street entertainment, displays and readings.
The 2012 Dickens Festival will take place on Friday, 8, Saturday, 9 and Sunday, 10 June.
The Dickens Festival’s unique combination of music, dance, drama and street theatre has rightly earned it a place in the south-east tourism calendar as one of the key events of the summer.
