Jubilee Celebrations

Shoppers at Doncaster’s Lakeside Village Outlet are set to step back in time as the centre celebrates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with three days of events.

The Victoria Cross Trust, who are based at the retail outlet are putting on a series of live music and dance performances from the 40s and 50s on Thursday 2nd June, Friday 3rd June and Saturday 4th June.

Customers are being encouraged to dress up in their best 1940s and 1950s outfits to join in the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Visitors will be invited to put their best foot forward and learn the jitterbug and lindy hop with two dance workshops a day over the three-day event and there will also be crafting where we’ll be encouraging children to create their own crowns, design their own bunting or write a letter to the Queen.

Here's what you can expect over the special bank holiday weekend...
