Victoria Day returns on Saturday 6 June from 10am to 4pm, transforming Aldershot town centre into a world of folklore, fairy tales and family fun. We’re ready for a magical day filled with storybook surprises from around the world!Visitors can enjoy a treasure trove of free family activities, over 60 craft and community stalls and whimsical live performances inspired by tales old and new.
WHAT'S ON
Across the town centre, a lively mix of activities awaits. Encounter a fire‑breathing dragon, marvel at a bubble wizard, watch mythical street performers, discover magical make‑and‑take crafts, enjoy gentle storytelling, build your own Lego monster and get creative with face painting.
Step into the enchanting Shed of Stories, where interactive tales, music and laughter fill the air before the space transforms into a cosy pop up library between sessions. Nearby, the Steamship Circus zone invites budding acrobats, jugglers and fearless adventurers to explore a world of circus skills and high flying fun.
Visitors can also write a message to their future selves at the Post Office of Possibilities, meet community organisations and enjoy live music and dance across two stages, alongside delicious world street food stalls.
CARNIVAL PARADE
The highlight of the day is the spectacular fairy‑tale carnival parade, brimming with dazzling costumes and story‑inspired characters. The parade celebrated Aldershot and the unique stories of people from near and far who shape this vibrant community. The procession leaves Princes Hall at 11am and makes its way to the High Street multi‑storey car park, led by Aldershot’s own Queen Victoria, Betty Bryce, guiding a lively parade of more than 1,000 local people.
