The Queen’s Baton Relay will be passing through Nottingham as it travels through the length and breadth of England. The event is part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations, and will visit villages, towns and cities across the country before ending at the opening ceremony for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Kicking off on Thursday June 2 the baton will spend four days in London, coinciding with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Weekend, celebrating Her Majesty's 70th year as Monarch and Head of the Commonwealth. The baton will then resume the international journey, visiting the Falkland Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and the Isle of Man, before touring home nations of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
It returns to England on Monday July 4 to commence a 25-day tour of the regions. The baton will reach Nottingham on Sunday July 10, visiting the IT20 at Trent Bridge, travelling by kayak along the canal before reaching Nottingham Castle’s network of caves.
