What caused Explorer and Treasure Hunter Cedric Cuthbert to die of fright?

On the night of a full moon, Cedric awoke the household with a blood curdling scream.

The Rochester Literature Festival is a voluntary, community and non-profit making organisation run by writers for readers, writers and like minds.
 

We aim to bring writers, performers, musicians, directors, producers and film makers together, anyone, in fact, whose work has creative writing at its heart. We want to expand the horizons of the many diverse communities in Medway, and collaborate with like minded folk to do that.


Our aim is to prove that literature is for everyone and can bring a community together, to learn from each other and experience great multi-arts activities and entertainment together to aid community spirit and wellbeing.


We want to engage our audiences with a superb mix of traditional and innovative literary events, full of imagination and flair. And we believe passionately that were Medway a book, it would be an epic tale in a genre all its own!
