Is your community the friendliest in the UK?
| | To celebrate HM The King’s Coronation, we’re looking for communities going above and beyond to support those around them. Maybe you hold an annual Big Lunch, regular meet-ups, or pull together to help each other out and look after your local area.
From cul-de-sacs to blocks of flats, villages to cities, if your community deserves a great big ‘thank you’, we want to hear from you!
The Eden Project team will work with the winning community to install a pollinator and people friendly garden. The prize will also include a Coronation Big Lunch hamper and £2,500 to support your next community project. Plus, three runners up will also receive a hamper (including a £100 Iceland voucher) and £1,000 towards a community project.
Sound good? To enter, all you need to do is tell us a little about your community and why you deserve to be crowned! The competition runs from 1-30 March and winners will be announced in April.
| | Fancy a mini event kit for your Big Lunch?
| | Planning a Big Lunch this year? Add it to our map and you could get your hands on a free mini event kit, complete with bunting, tea towel, food flags and more! A limited number are available, on a first come, first served basis.
| | Cheap insurance for your Big Lunch | | Lots of councils require street party organisers to take out Public Liability Insurance - and you might choose to anyway, so you can enjoy the fun knowing you’re covered. Organising cover with Creative Risk is quick and easy, and policies start from £25.
