History
THE MONARCH'S JUBILEES ARE SPECTACULAR CELEBRATIONS HELD BOTH NATIONALLY AND ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH
To commemorate the life and reign of the British Sovereign and of the Country
Royal Jubilees are significant occasions as only a very small number of Monarchs have reached reigns of 50+ years.
In the West Midlands we intend to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with an outstanding cultural festival, partnering with our communities to recognise the first ever milestone of 70 years of a British Monarch on the Throne.

The big Jubilee lunch
Every year since the idea began in 2009 The Big Lunch has encouraged communities to celebrate their connections and get to know each other a little bit better, coming together in a spirit of fun and friendship.
In 2022 The Big Lunch will bring the Jubilee celebrations into the heart of every community. People are invited to share friendship, food and fun with neighbours as part of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. A Big Jubilee Lunch can be big or small – street party or picnic, tea and cake or a garden barbecue.
The Big Lunch provides tips and ideas for hosting an event. Over 1400 people have registered to host Big Jubilee Lunches so far, with events beings planned across the length and breadth of the country.
