Street Parties - Diamond Jubilee 2012
June 4th and 5th
To mark the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen’s reign a special Bank Holiday has been announced. This has been added to the late Spring Bank Holiday to create a special long weekend including the Big Jubilee Lunch on Sunday the 3rd of June.
If you wish to celebrate with a Street Party the Government have again asked councils to make this process as easy as possible with no fees.
