The Friends of Eastgate House is a voluntary group that supports the conservation of Eastgate House, in Rochester, Kent. 

Formed in 2012, we have the following objectives: 
  • to support the preservation and restoration of Eastgate House
  • to stimulate public interest, and advance the education of the public, in the history of Eastgate House, its context within the history of Rochester and its future development.
We do this by organising talks, visits and social events throughout the year for our members as well as organise fundraising activities at many of the popular events and festivals held in Rochester. 

The Friends of Eastgate House is a charitable organisation, governed by a constitution and registered with HMRC for charitable purposes. This enables us to claim gift aid on donations we receive.
