The Big Lunch
Taking place on the first weekend of June each year, The Big Lunch is the UK’s annual get-together for neighbours, with millions of people coming together for a few hours of community, friendship, and fun. It connects people and encourages friendlier, safer neighbourhoods where people start to share more – from conversations and ideas to skills and resources.
This year, The Big Lunch and The Big Help Out are teaming up on 5-8 June for a weekend of friendship, food, fun and action – and everyone’s invited!
