This year The Big Lunch, the UK’s annual get-together for neighbours kicks off on June 5. Big Lunch Ambassador Saira Khan has been consistently encouraging the nation to get into the habit of safely  eating and meeting. She said, “Research from The Big Lunch found that 12 million people are now closer to their neighbours than before the pandemic so what better way to celebrate that friendship than by having a socially-safe bite to eat together.”

 

The Big Lunch, an idea from the Eden Project, supported by The National Lottery and Iceland Foods, attracts millions of people across the UK each year. Last year the event was moved online to adhere to Covid lockdown measures and over 4 million people took part in some digital dining.  This summer The Big Lunch returns from June 5 – July 4 giving people a whole month to have socially-safe get-togethers in their neighbourhood, on the doorstep, over the fence or online.

This summer The Big Lunch, supported by the National Lottery, returns from June 5 – July 4 giving people a whole month to pick a date for their Big Lunch. It could be a community picnic in the local park, a neighbourhood BBQ in the garden or simply raising a cup of tea to each other from the doorstep.
