The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations In Dore Village
The Dore Village Society is organising an impressive programme of events to ensure that everyone in the Village can celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. These Jubilee events will take place during the annual Dore Festival which this year runs from 29th June to 15th July.
The ‘Dore Jubilee Revue’, a specially written piece, will be performed on Friday 29th and Saturday 30th June in Dore Church Hall. The Revue will be a light-hearted series of sketches covering the Queen’s reign with songs and dances from different decades. Great entertainment for all the family!
Individuals, local groups and businesses are busy creating sixty quilt squares to be joined into an impressive ‘Wall Hanging’ which will be displayed in Dore Old School.
A key event will be a three day ‘Exhibition’ from Friday 6th until Sunday 8th July in Dore Old School. Entitled ‘Look Back In Celebration - A Return Journey To The 1950s’. The Exhibition will feature a huge display of furniture, toys, games, books, clothes and commemorative items from the period as well as local residents’ memories and photographs.
Dore Primary School pupils will recreate a ‘1950s Allotment’ as part of the exhibition and there will be displays of period flowers and flower arrangements.
Steve Davies, artist in residence, is creating a large ‘Mural’ artwork based on music from the 1950s which will be on display in Dore Church Hall.
A ‘Dore Jubilee Recipe Book’ is being compiled from local people’s favourite recipes and will be on sale throughout the summer.

Delivery of Dore to Door
The Dore Village Society delivers Dore to Door to over 3,000 homes in the Village. To do this we have a team of around 60 volunteers each of whom delivers 50-60 copies, often to their own road or ones nearby. It takes no more than 2 hours, 4 times a year. We are always on the lookout for new recruits. If you could spare the time and would like to help then we would love to hear from you.
Please call Geoff Cope on 0114 2350392 or email at g.h.cope@btinternet.com.
Thank you.
