Warwick is set to join the nation celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a community-focused celebration featuring corgis, cakes and more.
The town, which boasts a raft of Royal links dating back centuries, will mark the Monarch’s milestone celebration with a fun-packed day of activities on 2nd June, 2022.
Festivities include a community event in the Market Square featuring live music through the decades, as well as classic cars and a steam train. Food and drink will be available on the day while local businesses will also offer pre-bookable Jubilee picnic boxes across the Bank Holiday.
The community-focused celebration will be opened by Mayor of Warwick, Cllr Richard Edgington, and will start with a rendition of the National Anthem by the Warwick Community Band. Warwick’s Town Crier will also be in attendance.
Cllr Noel Butler – leader of Warwick Town Council, said: “We’re looking forward to bringing the whole of Warwick together for a great community-focused event on 2nd June. We’ll have music, entertainment, food, drink and plenty of family-friendly fun. We’ll have picnic tables in the Square but everyone’s welcome to bring their own chairs and rugs as well as their own picnics, or they can take advantage of some of the great food and drink on offer from our Warwick businesses.
“We look forward to joining the nation in celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in style.”
