Doncaster’s Celebration of City Status

Doncaster became Yorkshire’s newest city in 2022, winning a contest held to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. Join us for a fun evening of light-hearted chat and discussion, retelling the story of this historic campaign, and celebrating everything about Doncaster.

It will be heady a mix of history, heritage, and culture, recognising some of Doncaster’s greatest moments, as well as many lesser-known achievements. Where else would The Flying Scotsman, Paddington Bear, Ivanhoe, and Open all Hours feature on the same billing?

The evening is hosted by Jim Carley, author of “The Race for City Status: How Doncaster became one of Britain’s Newest Cities”. Our guest panel includes Dan Fell, Chief Executive of Doncaster Chamber and Chair of the City Status campaign; Lindsy James, Director of local charity Active Fusion and a World Duathlon Champion; and Chloe Wilburn, local businesswoman and winner of TV’s Big Brother in 2015.

Tickets are as cheap as chips at just £5.00 each, and 100% of all ticket sales will go to the Doncaster Little Theatre charity.

Friends of Quarry Park

The Friends held their Community Coffee Morning on Saturday 27th July at Hatfield Library. It was a very busy morning with lots going on.

We were joined by other community groups too, including The Friends of Jubilee Park who were outside selling plants; Pete Bullers with his handmade bird boxes. We also had Pat with her beautiful decoupage gifts and the Friends of Hatfield Church Building Trust selling their preloved jewellery. Vera was tempting us with her delicious homemade preserves, and the DN7 Foodbank held a biscuit tombola. Hatfield Cubs ran a Guess the Playing Card game and sold tickets for the library’s bicycle raffle.

We had 3 special guests, Clive Smith from the Rotary Club of Doncaster St George's (who funded the event), our new vicar of St Lawrence Chris Bishop and our new MP Lee Pitcher as well as lots of other regular supporters and a few new faces who all made it a successful event.

Grateful thanks for the donation of raffle prizes to Sarah Jane’s Tearoom, Tesco at Edenthorpe, Dunsville Post Office; The Flare Path, Dunsville, and Janet, Pat and Paul. We raised a terrific £287.85 for group funds, which will help towards buying more bulbs, etc for the park and equipment for our volunteers. Thank you to everyone who supported this event.

On Tuesday 30th July, we raised our new Green Flag for 2024/25. Thank you to everyone who came along. The Friends work tirelessly throughout the year to improve the park for visitors and help ensure we retain green flag status. Huge thanks go to the Doncaster Council Rangers, Street Scene and, of course, our amazing volunteers for their continued support.
