Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebration
3-5 June 2022
We would like to congratulate Her Royal Highness for reaching 70 years on the throne. To celebrate this historic milestone, The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we will be hosting celebrations right here in the arcade from Friday 3 June to Sunday 5 June. The celebrations will feature many events spread over the weekend, including live music, a prosecco bar and free face painting. Some wonderful artwork will be displayed by children from a local school and will depict the children’s interpretation of The Queen’s Jubilee. Why not go and take a look? The food outlets in the arcade will have special menus, created just for the occasion.
Keep an eye on their social media pages where customers will be kept up-to-date on what’s happening.
