Ulverston Dickensian Christmas Festival is proud of their #dickfest
The Ulverston Dickensian Christmas Festival is this weekend, and they’ve suggested people use #dickfest to tag photos on social media. Some have pointed out that it sounds rude, but no – in a slick PR move the festival organisers are sticking to their #dickfest guns.
Naturally it’s already attracted a few non-Dickensian responses…

Wish I could be up in Cumbria for #dickfest this weekend.

Yeah, Ulverston might have a #DickFest, but there'll be a #CoxExtravaganza in Barrow on Saturday.
