Dibdin's Queen Mab was performed on the first day of Garrick's festival in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Among the events of the Jubilee's first day was a performance of Queen Mab, a piece by Dibdin. Dibdin's The Jubilee and Datchet Mead are also works associated with Garrick's festival; a 2019 recording pairing all three, featuring singer Simon Butteriss and keyboardist Stephen Higgins, preserves this music. The sources date the performance only to the festival's first day, not to a specific calendar date.
