| Abstract: | This paper charts the shifts in the mechanisms for funding, the framing of the 'British people', industry and the role of the monarch at three distinct historical moments. In case studies of the Great Exhibition, the Festival of Britain and the Millennium Experience, the paper assesses how each exhibition (hereafter as: exb.) conceived the leisure experience of a good day out. The paper suggests that while each exb. claimed historical continuity, the constructions of the British people, the monarchy and the nation change. |
