The Festival of Food and Music celebrates the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
Our popular Festival of Food and Music is back this summer, running from Fri 3 – Sun 5 June. This year we celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with live music from every decade of her reign. We have a variety of tribute acts, a host of family activities including willow weaving and free tours of the mansion house.
Bracknell Forest councils are also celebrating the Jubilee with an art competition and a 1950s summer party. Please see our website for more details.
