The BIG Jubilee Picnic with Ben Waters & Band in Sixpenny Handley

We plan to recreate a traditional community street party, with trestle tables and chairs, on the village cricket pitch. Seating on a first come, first served basis but there will be plenty of space if you want to bring your own chairs and rugs.

Pop-up-Produce will provide pre-ordered picnic boxes for those who do not wish to bring their own and The Penny Tap will be open all afternoon serving liquid refreshments. Contact: [email protected] for details of picnic boxes available. Orders need to be placed by Friday 27 May.

There will be children’s and adult workshops as well as various other activities and stalls running during the afternoon. We will also be doing something a bit special to mark the 70th anniversary of the Queen’s reign.

To top it all off, we are super excited to have booked boogie-woogie piano player Ben Waters and his band of top rock ‘n’ roll session musicians who will play from 3.00 – 5.00 pm. Amongst others, they’ve played with The Rolling Stones, Ronnie Wood, Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Page and Plant and Chuck Berry and now they’re coming to Sixpenny Handley – how lucky are we!
