Because we happen anyway around were, we decided to take a look at the Dickens Festival . The 19th century city of Dickens, according to the announcement revived in the historic center of Deventer. The atmosphere we wanted to ever taste so good spirits, we went downtown.
Once something happened that I had never experienced. We ended in a huge row with the end not in sight. The whole street was filled with people who wanted to go somewhere, but where was not clear. Slowly shuffling the forth row, after about an hour and fifteen minutes we were 'inside', ie in the city. The center where the Dickens festival was organized.
Again, it was crowded. The sporadic extras in traditional costumes were hardly visible in the huge crowds. The stalls were almost overwhelmed by the interest. Although the historic center of Deventer is wonderful and very worthwhile, it was just so absurdly huge pressure, that we first made the best option for the center to leave.
According to the official site, there were 160,000 people at this event come down in four days were processed. It is clear that this idea has huge potential and broad recognition can count. But it would be wise for the organization next time more space is used to receiving visitors. For the "Dickens atmosphere" now drowned in the crowd.
