Mini Stranger #17 - Coronate This! The Cambridge Feast

The year is 1838 and all around Britain people are preparing to celebrate the coronation of Queen Victoria. In Cambridge, this meant an enormous dinner on Parker’s Piece in the centre of the town, followed by what else but Rustic Sports! Listen in to discover who got to attend this fancy dinner, what they feasted on (HOW MANY loaves of bread and gallons of beer?!), and what manner of Rustic Sports took place. Spoiler - there are eels involved.
