The Friends Did Eurovision 2023

At the Village Hall, East Markham

On Saturday 13th May the Friends of the Mausoleum held a unique event where we live-streamed the Eurovision Final with 120 people, over 40 of whom were Ukrainian nationals. The Ukraine won the contest last year so Liverpool hosted it in their place. We welcomed our guests into a warm and friendly atmosphere decorated in Ukrainian and UK colours and they were delighted to hear our special messages spoken to them in their own language by Victoria.

We shared a mixed buffet, held table games and the bar was open!  We would like to thank every one of the local businesses who so generously donated prizes for our huge Grand Prize Draw which featured 45 tremendous prizes.  As the evening drew to a close, we shared the excitement of watching and waiting for the final results to come in.  Congratulations to Sweden!

We said goodbye to our guests and thanked sponsors for their support in making this event a great success. A big Thank You to everyone who bought or sold tickets for the event and for the Draw, to everyone who attended and to every single person who helped in any way, however big or small, you each made it a very special evening.  Particular thanks also to Gerald Bowers of Bassetlaw Support Homes For Ukraine, David Dodds, Chairman and his colleagues on the East Markham Village Hall Committee for their valued assistance, advice and confidence in us.  It was a fabulous and successful night!
