Cheshire East Council has announced plans for the extended Platinum Jubilee Bank Holiday celebrations to mark Her Majesty The Queen’s 70-year reign.
The Queen is the first British monarch in history to celebrate a platinum jubilee.
She acceded to the throne on February 6 1952 aged just 25, after the death of her father King George VI.
To help with the celebrations, Cheshire East Council has set up a “community fund” for residents to apply for up to £120 for street parties or community events.
More information and how to apply for the Queen’s Jubilee community fund can be found on the council’s website at www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/queensjubilee along with guidance on managing events safely.
Cllr Mick Warren, Cheshire East Council’s committee chair for communities, said: “Whether you are attending a local street party, planting a tree for the Jubilee as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy or involved with the Platinum Jubilee Beacons, it really is a once in a lifetime celebration and opportunity for all of our residents and communities to come together to mark this historic occasion.”
Confirmed events taking place across the borough so far include:
* Congleton Park Jubilee Celebration, Thursday 2 June 2022
Celebrating 150 years in the park and the 750th charter year, there will be a Jubilee Picnic with concert band.
* Queens Park (Crewe) Jubilee Event, Friday 3 June 2022
The Friends of Queens Park will be presenting a free event for the local community to celebrate the Jubilee.
Applications for a Queen’s Jubilee street party road closure are free of charge and must be received by Friday April 8.
