Princess Anne will be making the trip from the City of Edinburgh to Sheffield on Friday, March 10, 2023 to make a number of scheduled appearances. This will be The Princess Royal’s first visit to the city since the 25 Anniversary of the Sheffield Crown Court building and the first Royal visit since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who herself visited Sheffield on a number of occasions.

According to The Royal Family’s website, Princess Anne will be visiting the popular Sheffield business Our Cow Molly at Cliffe House Farm in Dungworth. The farm and ice cream parlour are usually open on Fridays, so it is expected crowds may turn out at the farm to see the Princess.
