Celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with a Four-Day Bank Holiday Weekend

Thanks, Your Majesty for the four-day bank holiday weekend starting on Thursday 2nd of June. We can’t wait:) Hopefully, it will be made a permanent one, we can enjoy year after year.

There will be around 133,000 planned road closures, 2232 public events, and 2330 street parties throughout the whole weekend that will bring together communities and neighbourhoods across the UK to celebrate Her Majesty The Queens' 70 years of service. It's a milestone for the entire nation as she is the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.

The government has urged organisers to inform their local council of any disruptive gatherings at least four weeks in advance to help with temporary signage and diversions. Click here to check the events in your area
