In 2012, The Big Jubilee Lunch is being held as part of the programme coordinated by Buckingham Palace for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, celebrating 60 years of her reign. There is a programme of events taking place over the 4 day bank holiday weekend, Saturday 2 to Tuesday 5 June 2012, and with The Big Jubilee Lunch takes place on the Sunday, 3 June.
As well as the event being promoted with a PR campaign, Kingsmill will carry an on-pack promotion from March.
Tim Smit, chief executive and co-founder of the Eden Project, which came up with the idea for The Big Lunch, said: “We are pleased to have Kingsmill joining us as a partner of the fourth annual Big Lunch event in 2012, The Big Jubilee Lunch. The Big Lunch is such a simple idea, but brings together to the key ingredients for building stronger communities – neighbours, friendship and food.”
