Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations – Middlewich Funding Opportunity for Street Party Organisers

On 6th February this year Her Majesty The Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. This marks 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the Realms and the Commonwealth.

To celebrate this unprecedented anniversary, a series of events and initiatives will take place throughout the year which will culminate in a four day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June. This special bank holiday will provide an opportunity for our Middlewich community and people throughout the United Kingdom to come together to celebrate this historic milestone.

Middlewich Town Council and Middlewich Vision will be organising an official street party (details to be confirmed) and we also want to support local groups who are planning their own street party to celebrate this momentous occasion.

SOME USEFUL NOTES FOR STREET PARTY ORGANISERS

  • Organisers. If you have never organised a street party before take a look at this helpful webpage which contains some good tips for creating a successful party: https://www.streetparty.org.uk/
  • Official resources, including the official Platinum Jubilee logo, for use on merchandise or publicity etc can be found here: https://www.royal.uk/resources-platinum-jubilee
  • Consider sharing bunting, tableware etc with a neighbouring street to reduce any costs. Pick a street who is hosting their party on a different day/time and see if you can pool any resources
  • Order and Buy early! Merchandise will be in demand particularly in the weeks leading up to the event. If you need Jubilee themed merchandise, buy it in early so that you do not lose out.
  • Cheshire East Council Funding: CEC are to confirm whether any additional funds will be available to support street parties in Cheshire East. We are awaiting details.
  • Cheshire East Council Road Closures and Event Permissions. CEC are to confirm their arrangements for groups who want to run an event/impliment a road closure. Currently there are strict regulations relating to road closures/events on public land/highways and applicants are normally charged a fee. We are awaiting details about the arrangements for the Jubilee Celebrations and establishing whether the normal process will be simplified/costs wavered for street parties during this time period.
