Big Jubilee Lunch
The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many people as possible across the whole of the UK to have lunch with their neighbours in a simple act of community, friendship and fun. Next year’s Big Lunch will fall on the
same weekend as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. So anyone who would like to celebrate and commemorate the Queen’s 60 year reign can do so by holding a Big Lunch! A Big Lunch can be anything from a few neighbours getting together in the garden or on the street, to a full blown party with food, music and decoration that quite literally stops the traffic. see

Siege of Lyme: THANKSGIVING DAY Join us as we re-enact the end of the Civil War Siege of Lyme with the help of the Taunton Garrison.
 Parliament decreed at the end of the English Civil War that there should be a day of celebration and prayer in Lyme to commemorate the end of the unsuccessful siege of Lyme by the Royalist Forces. It was one
of the longest sieges of the Civil War. In Lyme we will carry on the tradition by dressing in clothes of the period and parading through the streets. Join us in our celebration. Organised by Lyme Regis Regatta and Carnival committee. Join us as
we parade from the Baptist Church to Theatre Square dressed as those who defended Lyme against the Royalist Forces in the English Civil War. Further information: www.lymeregiscarnival.co.uk
