# BVVW 2020 # It has not been possible to put on the “usual” Ballater Victoria Week this year, for obvious reasons. However, inspired by the Victorians, we have put our heads together, applied electricity and have come up with Virtual Victoria Week. You can join in online, or wander around the village at a respectable and safe distance, as you see fit. Many of our regular visitors will miss being here in Ballater and it has been wonderful to hear that some of you are planning to celebrate BVW from your homes, wherever that may be. Thank you and stay in touch! We hope to have as much fun and silliness while raising money for a number of causes and suppor�ng the area’s businesses as we always do. This year, many of our event prizes will be in the form of vouchers for local shops and services of the winner’s choice, to help support Ballater’s businesses. Check out full event details on our website or social media. Many will run from 10-3pm, with any judging at 4pm. It will vary. Enjoy BVVW and, along with Ballater’s Highland Games, we hope to see you in 2021, with bells on. This year, Be Emused...
