Victorian days update

We are currently working on a really good membership register in our accounting program, and it will be ready by spring. We can't wait for it to be completed, so we're reaching out now and hoping you would like to become a member in 2021. As a member, you can participate in and support the Victorian days. The membership fee is 200 SEK and can be easily paid via our Swish number 1236328629. It's also possible to pay through our bank giro account 695-8813.

As mentioned earlier, our association has created an anniversary book. It is still available. You have the opportunity to buy one or more books for 200 SEK each. Send a text message to Linnéa Johansson at 072-1958107, and she will assist you in getting a book.

What did the Victorian days do in 2020?
Covid-19 hit hard during the summer of 2020. We didn't get permission to hold our usual events. However, the Municipality of Kungälv told us to provide summer jobs for the youth and to broadcast performances and concerts via social media. The summer jobs were to be carried out. So, we arranged about 40 performances, which are available to watch on our website. We also had a clothing exhibition and a singing show in Paradisparken for parts of the Swedish 1800s Society who visited the event to see if they would hold their annual gathering in Marstrand. And they will, so in 2021, the Victorian Era professionals will be our guests. It will be exciting. We rearranged our budget significantly and decided to invest resources in updating our clothes; the costumes are now even more historically accurate.

Ahead of the summer of 2021, we really hope to be able to have events like our days again. The signals we're receiving are positive. The theme for this year's Victorian Days is "Children's Victorian Era". What was it like to be a child in 1890, what was school like, how did children play, child labor, etc.

Hope to see you this year from August 6th to 8th at Marstrand's quays!
