The Big Lunch, an idea from the Eden Project, made possible by the National Lottery, brings communities together. Millions of people across the UK come together each year to celebrate community connections and get to know one another a little better.
A whopping nine million people took part last year alone, creating and strengthening community connection across the UK which is more important than ever before, and this year there are even more reasons to celebrate!
The Big Jubilee Lunch is an official part of HM The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations from 2-5 June 2022, and like last year, it will kick off a summer of community, friendship and fun as we team up with good causes across the UK for a whole Month of Community.
