The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Marlborough Celebrations

STREET PARTIES BEACON AFTERNOON TEA CLASSIC CARS BAKE OFF ROYAL PLATINUM PICNIC

With a road closure in place, on Thursday our fabulously wide High Street will be transformed into a party zone with picket fencing, bunting, tables and chairs all set out for a traditional street party. There'll be entertainment from the stage, childrens' activities and much more. The party runs from 2-5pm.

High Street party on 2nd June - bring your camping chairs and a picnic!

We'll be lighting the Beacon at Marlborough Common as one of more than 1,500 beacons being lit right across the Commonwealth.

Bakers: scroll down to sign up for the Great Marlborough Jubilee Bake-Off! There are tours of Marlborough College and St Peter's Church Tower too: with so much going on across this long weekend we're sure Marlborough will remember the Platinum Jubilee for many years to come.

Check back with us because we'll update this page with more events and details as soon as they are confirmed. And if you are holding an event - either your street or your business - let us know and we'll add it to the list.
