Jubilee Fairground and 'The Big Lunch'

Jubilee Fairground and 'The Big Lunch'

Bowburn Park, the picnic area between Alnwick Castle and The Alnwick Garden, will be given over to old time fairground rides including a helter skelter, carousel and swingboats.

Bowburn will be be-decked in red, white and blue and delicious food stalls will be selling candy floss, popcorn, crepes, doughnuts and there’ll be a hog roast and BBQ to enjoy. There will also be the opportunity to make sure you are fully kitted out in red, white and blue memorabilia with face painting and all kinds of themed Jubilee items to buy - such as flags, hats, balloons, mugs and umbrellas!

Access to Bowburn will be free of charge, and the rides will be around £2.00 per go.

Locals and visitors alike are invited to participate in a giant picnic at Bowburn, as a part of the ‘Big Lunch’ initiative on Sunday 3rd June.

As a special treat for those born on 2nd June 1953, the date of the Queen’s Coronation, they will receive free entry to The Alnwick Garden and Alnwick Castle for the whole Jubilee weekend, 2nd – 5th June inclusive (they will have to bring photographic proof of ID, i.e. passport, driving licence, etc.).
