Queen Victoria celebrated at Il-Ħaġar Public Talks at Il-Ħaġar

Queen Victoria was born two hundred years ago. Her connections with Gozo include the fact that the main town became a city and its name changed for her Golden Jubilee.

Naturally enough, Fondazzjoni Belt Victoria felt duty-bound to mark this bicentenary, choosing Saturday 1 June, about halfway between the actual date and Jum il-Belt Victoria.

This occasion, consisting of a talk about the Empress by Rev. Geoffrey George Attard and short readings from Victorian literature, starts at 11:00 and takes place on Level 3 at Il-Ħaġar Museum.

Entrance is free of charge but booking on events@heartofgozo.org.mt is recommended.
