Doncaster Minster is thrilled to announce the return visit of Her Royal Highness, “Queen Victoria” at the Minster’s Victorian Experience, which will run inside the Minster. “Queen Victoria” will be accompanied by her Lady in Waiting, “Lady Ponsonby”.
The “Queen” will be arriving at 11am and there will be an opportunity for an Audience with Her Majesty at 11am and again at 2pm.
Admission: Free

To add to this special day we have a Victorian Story Teller, Victorian Puppet Show, and music from the Cusworth Singers. There will be an opportunity to make Victorian Christmas cards and other Christmas goodies. Please feel free to come dressed in Victorian Dress as there will be a prize for the best dressed child and adult but there will also be a range of Victorian costumes for you to try on. Come along and listen to the Victorian Hurdy Gurdy whilst sampling our hot tatties, roast chestnuts, meat pies, mince pies and mulled wine.
A new attraction this year will be the Victorian Craft Stalls where you will have the opportunity to shop for that locally made unique gift.

Following the Fayre at 4pm to 5.30pm, there will be a Victorian Pot-Pourri of Music, Melodrama and Majesty for your delectation.
Entry: £2.50 which will include a plate of teatime delicacies to tantalite your taste buds.

Music from the Cusworth Singers, Parlour songs from Canon Smith, a comic melodrama “Maria Marten Murder at the Red Barn” by the Everton Players and some ‘below stairs’ antics will be guaranteed to raise a titter or two. The event will close with audience participation in true music hall style with a “sing a long”.
