Road Closure requests should be submitted by Friday, 27 April. Events that don't require a road closure can still register after this date.

The Big Jubilee Lunch

The Big Lunch is the main focus of the celebrations on Sunday 3 June. It’s a chance to share lunch with neighbours, friends and family wherever and however you like. You could request a street closure and get the whole street involved or use a local park and get the whole community involved; it really is up to you.

You could even use local parks as a venue to bring-your-own picnic if you’d like a more informal way to celebrate in the company of friends and neighbours. More information can be found online:

Jubilee Beacons

On Monday, 4 June beacons will be lit throughout the country. You can host your own beacon whether it’s a traditional bonfire beacon or a tower beacon placed on a prominent building.

Jubilee Woods

You can apply for free native trees from the Woodland Trust to help plant six million trees throughout the country. It’s a chance to come together in communities and schools to plant trees that can be enjoyed for generations.
