The annual meeting was a delight with the farewell of two beloved members. Thank you for your contributions to the Victorian Days.

We also had a visit from Thomas van der Heiden who can make anyone eager to get a boat!

The Victorian days will hold its annual meeting at 3:00 PM at the Havshotel, and after the annual meeting, there will be an opportunity to attend the lecture with Thomas. Everyone is welcome to our annual meeting.

In Llandudno, Wales, there's a festival called Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza.
In 2024, it will take place on May 4th to 6th, and we will be there.

In February, the association received the exciting news that we have been granted funding from Leader in Southern Bohuslän to send two of our youths to the festival to gather information that can help develop the Victorian Days in Marstrand.

From our association, Linnéa Johansson, project manager, Karin Harrysson, responsible for costumes, and Siri Lindström, former summer worker and active participant in the association, will be traveling to Llandudno. We will depart on May 3rd and return on May 7th.

After the trip, the Victorian Days will invite the public to a meeting about the journey. There, attendees will have the opportunity to see photos and videos from the trip, and refreshments will be provided.

The youths from Hvitfeldtska Gymnasium performed a wonderful concert in our Victorian-era attire. Thank you, Hvitfeldtska Chamber Choir!

During the weekend of November 24-26, Team Marstrand is organizing a Christmas market at Strandverket. On Saturday the 25th, a group from Hvitfeldtska Gymnasium will sing Christmas carols at the market. The entrance fee to the market is 100 SEK.

Later in the evening, Hvitfeldtska Chamber Choir will also perform a concert at Marstrand's church. The concert is free with voluntary donations to the Childhood Cancer Foundation.
Hvitfeldtska Chamber Choir at Marstrand's Church, 7:00 PM on November 25th. See you there!

This year, the Victorian Days created our first English program brochure. It was made possible with the assistance of the Leader organization. They support us with EU funding and public funds.

We have also begun updating our website so that it can be read in English as well.

Thank you for the assistance!

Would you like to join us for the Royal Swim during the Victorian Days? The Royal Swim takes place at Strandverket on Marstrand Island at 2:15 PM on both Saturday and Sunday.

Come and borrow a Victorian-era swimsuit in Paradisparken before 12:00 PM so you can join in when the swim starts. But remember to bring your own swimwear too, as the suits become somewhat see-through after being worn in water. Warm punch will be provided after the swim for those who need to warm up.

See you this weekend at the Victorian Days in Marstrand!

This year, you will be able to see our summer workers perform at various locations on Marstrand Island. At the bottom of the images in this post, you will find a map showing the different locations. There will also be signs outside the gardens to indicate where to enter since it can be a bit tricky to figure out in some places. You can also see the summer workers at their concert on August 5th at 6:00 PM at Marstrand's Church.
