Welcome to the home page of the Dickens House Museum.

Once the home of Miss Mary Pearson Strong, on whom Charles Dickens based much of the character of Miss Betsey Trotwood in his novel David Copperfield, this building has been adapted as a museum to commemorate the novelist's association with the town of Broadstairs.

The parlour is refurbished as described by Dickens and illustrated by H. K. Browne (Phiz). Some of the author's own letters and memorabilia are on display. Around the house there are fascinating old prints of local and Dickensian interest as well as costumes and Victoriana.

Visit the Details page to learn more about this fascinating museum. If you would like to arrange a party booking or get in touch, use the Contact page.

We hope that you will decide to visit the Dickens House Museum in Broadstairs, and look forward to meeting you.
