Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee

Lingfield Village celebrations on Monday 4th June
The Lingfield Parish Council are planning a great Lingfield Village celebration the Monday 4th June from about 4pm.

The idea is to close Church Road from 3pm until 9pm, hold a street party at about 4pm with an exciting programme involving all the village e.g. food vendors and stall holders, Punch & Judy and a roundabout in the Star car-park, schools, youth club, scouts and brownies, 50’s period dress competition and much more culminating in a torch lit procession to Beacon Field around 9pm and the lighting of a beacon at 10.30pm in conjunction with many thousands of villages across the UK.

As it happens the Church of St Peter & St Paul are holding their Old Town Fayre on Saturday 2nd June. Old Town will be

decked out in colourful bunting which could stay up throughout the bank-holiday weekend and be extended into Church Road.

The Parish Council have applied for a grant to establish a permanent beacon as a tribute to Her Majesty’s diamond jubilee.
Lord Lingfield has kindly agreed to be patron to the Lingfield celebrations.
The Lingfield Parish Council would like to hear and consider your comments which should be sent to Fay Elwood

parishclerk@lingfieldpc.fsnet.co.uk or telephone 01342 835557 or Chris d’Avray chris.davray@btinternet.com
