A YORKSHIRE-BORN star will light up an open air venue in North Yorkshire in 2022 when she headlines a special concert to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Jane McDonald will be joined by a host of special guests for Yorkshire’s Platinum Jubilee Concert taking place at Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Saturday June 4.

Venue programmer Peter Taylor, of promoters Cuffe and Taylor, said: “Jane McDonald is the Queen of Yorkshire, so we are delighted she will be headlining Yorkshire’s Platinum Jubilee Concert.
