Jubilee weekend at Brewery Square to be a royal treat

Dorchester’s Brewery Square will be welcoming visitors to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in style with a weekend filled with music, food, and activities.

The Square has lined up a host of special musical numbers to mark the occasion on Saturday 4th June. Local sensation Grace Lovelass will give a special national anthem performance at 12pm, while The String Quartet will play a range of classical renditions from 4:45pm.

A variety of stalls will be available in the Square, alongside entertainment and food; from crown making competitions to scones and ice cream.

Charlotte Spracklen, Centre Manager at Brewery Square, commented: “It’s an honour to host such a unique event and welcome families to make lasting memories. The sense of community and culture that Brewery Square stands for has always been a crown jewel for us and to add this to our calendar is extra special.”

The celebrations will continue into Sunday 5th June, when visitors can catch TV coverage of the Jubilee on a Big Screen. The Square is also supporting the annual Big Lunch as people come together to celebrate with their community with a feast fit for kings and queens. Visitors to Brewery Square are invited to treat themselves to a packed lunch or takeaway food and drink from one of the Square’s popular eateries and joining others to enjoy in its amphitheatre-style seating area. The weekend will end with the Platinum Pageant from 2:30pm.
