After being told by many people that I look like Queen Victoria and as I am the same height as the late Queen (at the same age), I researched and developed the characterisation. I used historic costume experts to design and make my costume, which is based on photographs of Queen Victoria in the 1870/80s. Now I transform into an uncanny representation of her. Find out the details of how I ‘became Queen Victoria’.

About Eve Bacon

Eve is a retired teacher and has been an historical interpreter for over 25 years. She has extensive experience of delivering presentations in museums, heritage sites and TV, including the National Army Museum, English Heritage, The National Trust, The Wellcome Collection and The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and has appeared in documentaries for The National Geographic TV and Film. She has developed a series of characters and presentations for a variety of interest groups. All her presentations are well researched and resourced so you can be sure that the things she says and does are as historically accurate as she can make them. Initially her interest has been the history of food and the reflection of society at that time, but since becoming a Queen Victoria impersonator (she is the same height at the same age), she has developed an interest in the Victorian era and has been researching Baby Farming for the last 10 years, and has written a book on the subject. Recently, she has been interviewed for BBC Radio Bristol for a documentary about Amelia Dyer.
