The Big Lunch: 6-7 June
In February 2018 we committed almost £8 million of National Lottery funding to a four year joint initiative with the Eden Project to support The Big Lunch.
What's it all about?
The Big Lunch is the UK’s thanksgiving weekend for neighbours and communities - a time where people come together to celebrate community connections and get to know one another a little better. An idea from the Eden Project, made possible by The National Lottery, it usually attracts millions of people across the UK. Last year over 6 million people took part in 100,000 Big Lunch events.

Now, more than ever, we need to make time for each other, so let’s get the nation talking over a cuppa and a bite to eat and have some fun with The Big Virtual Lunch.
For those of you who have been to a Big Lunch before, things will need to be a little bit different this year, but community spirit is shining bright, and whether you are a first timer or an old hat, there are lots of ways you can join in.
