Dickens House Museum

We did the tour - short and sweet but informative. Really enjoyed it, thank you.

The Charles Dickens House Museum in Broadstairs, Kent, is a charming seaside retreat where Dickens spent summers and found inspiration for David Copperfield. Set in a beautifully preserved Victorian house, the museum offers a glimpse into his life with period furnishings, personal artifacts, and rare memorabilia. Visitors can explore rooms like Dickens' study, overlooking the sea, and view original letters and first editions of his works. The museum, enriched with events and exhibitions, provides a captivating look into Dickens' life and creativity in the picturesque coastal town.

This is a fantastic small museum that offers a captivating glimpse into the life and works of Charles Dickens. The museum features original handwritten letters and various personal items of Dickens, providing an intimate connection to the famed author. The knowledgeable guide enriches the experience with insightful anecdotes and historical context. The quaint gift shop is a delightful addition, offering a selection of Dickens' books and unique souvenirs.

I have had this museum on my bucket list for a while. I was not disappointed when I visited. It is a small museum but ideal for what it is. I was happy with the display that gave me more insight into the life of this great author as I have read a lot of his books.

Fantastic small museum with very knowedable friendly staff and great gift shop. There is a Dickens festival in june I recommend visiting then when all the staff and many visitors are dressed up in victorian dress. The house was owned in the 20s by a super fan couple who bought many pieces of furniture owned by dickens, etchings depicting him, first edition books etc. Before them the house was owned by a woman who dickens had tea with frequently when he visited Broadstairs. His original house in Broadstairs is now an Iceland, so sad! Help to keep these places alive by visiting. It's well worth the cheap admission, gorgeous views and styled interior.
