Jubilee Picnic in the Park

Pembury Parish Council are pleased to host our annual Musical Picnic which has been combined with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee for 2022 only!! The event will take place on Sunday 5 June 2022 in Lower Green Recreation Ground, off Lower Green Road, Pembury.

Gates will open at 2pm when you will be able to enjoy the music from Sonny & the Harps, the Patinas and Squeeze a Crowd!  There will also be tea and cake served by HOPE Churches together from the Pavilion, open from 2pm.  An ice cream van and pizza van will also be there if you run out of your own picnic or don’t fancy bringing one!

We have a free circus skills workshop to keep the kids entertained and a coconut shy so you can test your throwing skills – come along and give it a try!

Bring a picnic and a blanket and join us for the afternoon!
