When is the Queen’s Jubilee 2022?
People across the United Kingdom have an extra bank holiday to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. The bank holiday weekend will take place from Thursday 2nd June to Sunday 5th June 2022, giving Brits two days off work to celebrate the Queen’s 70 years of service.
There are a number of events planned by the royal family to mark this momentous moment in the Queen’s life. They include: Trooping the Colour, Lighting of Platinum Jubilee Beacons, Service of Thanksgiving and St Paul’s, a live concert ‘Platinum Party at the Palace’, The Big Jubilee Lunch and The Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

Not able to make any of the official events? Bring the celebration to you and host a Jubilee party. There are many ways you can get together with your friends , family and local community to mark the occasion. Here’s three top ideas to get you thinking.
A cake sale is a great way to bring the community together to mark the occasion. Why not get creative with icing and decorate your sweet treats with jubilee designs. You can sell your cakes at your local school or even just on your street and raise funds for a local charity.
Get to know your neighbors and host a street party. The bank holiday is the perfect excuse to celebrate in the sun. Once you have chosen a day you can focus on the fun stuff such as which sandwiches to provide, what cakes to bake and what fruit to put in the pimms. Share the load by asking everyone to bring a dish. Don’t forget to let people know about the event on social media or why not do it the old fashioned way and post a flier through their door.
Decorate your home and street
Get into the jubilee spirit by decorating your home. Get out your union jack bunting and flags and go crazy. Brightly coloured ribbons and string are also a great way to brighten up your home if you are decorating on a budget.
