PLANS are in place for a record-breaking picnic as part of the Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.
The Big Windsor Lunch aims to bring people together for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
What is the Big Windsor Lunch?
The Big Windsor Lunch is a special event being organised to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Organisers of the unique event are planning to put together a minimum of 500m worth of picnic tables, enough to seat at least 1,600 people.
This supersized picnic is an attempt to break the record for the longest ever picnic table.
The previous record, of 100m of tables, was set in Memphis, Tennessee at the May International Festival.
When is the Big Windsor Lunch at Windsor Castle?
The record breaking picnic attempt is taking place in Windsor during the extended Bank Holiday weekend on Sunday, June 5, 2022, with festivities’ kicking off at 12.30pm.
The Big Windsor Lunch is part of National Thank You Day.
The long table will be running all the way from Cambridge Gate towards the Copper Horse
Those in attendance will be expected to stick to the Commonwealth theme for the Sunday Celebrations as part of the four-day festivities.
Who will attend the Big Windsor Lunch?
Everyone is invited to bring their table along to the Big Windsor Lunch as organisers hope to break the world record for the longest ever picnic table.
Nearer the time there will also be the option to reserve spaces on the long table. Once the tables are full, picnic-goers will be encouraged to add their own tables or picnic blankets to the surrounding area.
Aside from the record attempt, the Big Windsor Lunch aims to allow people from different communities and backgrounds to come together and celebrate the Queen’s jubilee together in a unique and exciting atmosphere.
People living locally to Windsor are encouraged to bring their own picnic tables or blankets, and to and to watch the national Platinum Pageant together on the big screens.
Bunting and Union Jack flags are also encouraged for those attending the Big Windsor Lunch, as well as picnic food favourites.
