It’s the easiest party you’ll ever throw – all it takes is a table, a few chairs and something delicious to share. The Big Lunch returns this weekend (7-8 June), inviting neighbours across the UK to come together over food and friendship. Whether it’s a full street bash or a few snacks on the front step, it’s a chance to break the ice, not the bank, and feel part of something bigger.
Now in its 16th year, the Eden Project’s initiative has become a national fixture, with more than 10 million people joining in last summer. This year’s event is backed once again by Co-op, Greene King and the Pears Foundation – and while it’s all about community, the food doesn’t hurt either.
