The Queen's Platinum Jubilee – 70 Years is the very first high-profile event to take place in this unprecedented year of celebrations marking the Queen's seventy years of service.
Do we get an extra bank holiday in 2022? There will be a four-day bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd June to Sunday 5th June 2022, meaning Brits will be given two days off work to celebrate the Queen's 70 years of service. The late May bank holiday will be moved to Thursday 2nd June 2022 and the new, additional bank holiday will be on Friday 3rd June
Street parties The UK has a long history of organised street parties to celebrate national events. Why not organise one for your neighbours for the Platinum Jubilee? Can we dress the streets of the UK with Red White and Blue ? YES WE CAN !!!!!
Your 1st way of showing your neighbours your ready to party is a Jubilee Door Bow You’re welcome to host parties right across the bank holiday weekend, or as part of The Big Jubilee Lunch.

WHAT IS THE QUEEN’S GREEN CANOPY?
The Queen’s Green Canopy (QGC) is a unique tree planting initiative created to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022 which invites people from across the United Kingdom to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee”.
Everyone from individuals to Scout and Girlguiding groups, villages, cities, counties, schools and corporates will be encouraged to play their part to enhance our environment by planting trees during the official planting season between October to March. Tree planting will commence again in October 2022, through to the end of the Jubilee year.
With a focus on planting sustainably, the QGC will encourage planting of trees to create a legacy in honour of The Queen’s leadership of the Nation, which will benefit future generations.
As well as inviting the planting of new trees, The Queen’s Green Canopy will dedicate a network of 70 Ancient Woodlands across the United Kingdom and identify 70 Ancient Trees to celebrate Her Majesty’s 70 years of service.
We wish you a Happy and safe Partying
Love all at Mrs Mermaids
