The Big Lunch takes place annually in June – but you can join in and host one whenever you like. This year’s Big Lunch is on Sunday 12th June 2016.

The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many people as possible across the whole of the UK to have lunch with their neighbours annually in June in a simple act of community, friendship and fun.

The following pages have lots to help you get started. Whether it’s a few neighbours coming together to share sandwiches in your front gardens, a traditional street party or big community bash, holding a Big Lunch is simple.

The pack contains invites, posters, activity and recipe cards, stickers, seeds and lots of useful planning information plus friendly faces! The download pack has posters, invites, an activity sheet and leaflet ready to edit, save and print at home.

If you live outside the UK and want to take part, request your downloadable pack by emailing international@thebiglunch.com.

Find posters and invitations to personalise in downloadable resources.
