Doncaster is affectionately known as Donny by the locals, and is a place filled with historic sites and a bustling centre. 
 

Dating back over 2,000 years, Doncaster market is one of the town’s major attractions that still runs three times a week. People travel here to visit highlights including the Corn Exchange, a spectacular restored Victorian building packed with stores offering fashion and furnishings and  confectionery. The Forum, a craft area located upstairs in the Corn Exchange, is where visitors can try their hands at card making and other activities. 
 

Another historic gem is the Grade I-listed Mansion House. This is one of just three original Georgian mansion houses in the country and its awe-inspiring architecture is well worth a visit. 
 

Do you love horse racing? Doncaster is home to the St Ledger, the oldest classic horse race in the world. Held at Doncaster Racecourse, this event is held annually and attracts racing lovers from across Yorkshire and beyond. 
 

You can also explore Conisbrough and Tickhill castles – two impressive Norman creations that still stand today; check out nearby stately homes such as Brodsworth Hall; and discover a railway heritage that dates to 1853.
