On Sunday 5 June, we will be celebrating the Queens' Jubilee
With the Royal Household announcing its Platinum Jubilee celebrations for the Queen next year, the GAP Festival team has plans underway to build in community celebrations for this momentous royal milestone into its festival programme.
Next year’s GAP Festival takes place from 2 – 12 June 2022 which coincides with the extended 4-day bank holiday for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, celebrating her becoming the first British Monarch to reach seventy years of service.
The GAP Festival was created as a legacy project from the local Diamond Jubilee celebrations of 2012, so it is particularly apt that the team have announced they will be incorporating next year’s Jubilee celebrations into their 10-day programme on Sunday 5 June 2022. Save the date!
Many of you will remember the local celebrations in 2012 which included what was reported to be one of the longest street parties in the country! That incredible event saw more than 4,000 people join together to have lunch on a continuous line of almost a kilometre of tables stretching from Goring’s railway bridge across the Thames bridge to the traffic lights in Streatley, in the rain!
Something similar is a possibility for next year to tie in with the Palace’s recommendations for traditional street party celebrations on Sunday 5 June 2022, one of the Royal Household announced events that the country and commonwealth are encouraged to take part in. The festival planning team is also considering another major event that day too, to make it once again a memorable occasion for everyone in Goring and Streatley.
The team is looking for volunteers to help with the planning. No experience needed, just enthusiasm and a passion for bringing our community together. If you are interested and keen to get involved, please contact the GAP Festival team at help@thegapfestival.org or go the VOLUNTEER section and you can contact the team from there.
