Following successful events in August (Mexborough) and September (Askern), we held another ‘Heritage Happening’. at the Eco-Power Stadium in South Stand Reception on 28th and 29th November:

Our Askern 'Heritage Happening' was on Friday 5 and Saturday 6 September prior to the home game v Bradford City.

Our Mexborough 'Heritage Happening' was on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 August prior to the home game v Wycombe Wanderers.

We attended the Discovering Collections Discovering Communities conference (incorporating History Day North) organised by National Archives, British Library, JISC etc. We won a bursary to attend and published a poster on the art element of our project:

Richard Stevens & Colin Harker / In Rovers We Trust CIC  (2025) Football heritage, arts and crafts and community engagement: The Doncaster Rovers Football Museum project. Poster. DCDC25 conference: Discovering Collections Discovering Communities, Durham University. 

Our test event was with the Rovers Connects group at the stadium on Tuesday 22 July for one hour. It took over two hours to set up and another two hours to take down again. The reception was positive and we learnt a lot.
