BIG JUBILEE LUNCH TO TAKE PLACE IN QUEEN’S PARK

On Sunday 5 June, South Swindon Parish Council will be hosting a Big Jubilee Lunch at Queen’s Park to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

Everyone is invited to bring along a picnic and join together on the glade opposite the Hot House for an afternoon of entertainment from ZambaLando, who recently performed to an enthusiastic crowd at the Town Gardens Bandstand, with the opportunity to participate in arts and crafts, games and competitions.

South Swindon Parish Council has been implementing consistent improvements to Queen’s Park over the last few years and with the park’s unique connection to Queen Elizabeth – the Garden of Remembrance, located off Groundwell Road, was officially opened by Princess Elizabeth herself in November 1950 – the Platinum Jubilee is the perfect opportunity to bring along the whole family to experience this beautiful park in bloom this summer.

The Big Jubilee Lunch will be taking place from 11am until 2pm on Sunday 5 June and you can find out more information and pre-register online at www.southswindon-pc.gov.uk/events/big-jubilee-lunch

Cllr Stan Pajak, councillor for Eastcott, said, “There can be no better place to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee than at the park named to celebrate the Queen’s coronation in 1953. Queen’s Park is a wonderful green oasis in Swindon’s Town Centre. Amid flowers, a lake come and enjoy a Royal picnic on its grass glade and be entertained by life music - definitely the place to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee!”
