Biggin Hill Platinum Jubilee Street Party – Friday 3rd June 2022 – 12 to 5 pm

We’re delighted to tell you plans are now well underway to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We’re helping to organise a Traditional Street Party in Main Road on the afternoon of Friday 3 June. The road will be closed to vehicles, except in an emergency, between the traffic lights at Lebanon Gardens and Haig Road

There will be music from Fairchildes School Steel Band (some of you may remember them from last years’ Biggin Hill Carnival), along with street entertainers, competitions and activities for the little ones. Be assured, the event will be adequately stewarded and Main Road will be festooned in red, white and blue decorations. The party itself is free and there’s no need to book. 

Just turn up with your own picnic, or purchase food and drink from the number of local businesses that will be open on the day. We’ll be setting up tables for families to sit at, but you’ll need to bring your own chairs, or why not bring a blanket and sit on the grass verges? We ask you to please leave your dogs at home. 

We hope everyone has a fantastic time.

Let’s make this a day to remember and fingers crossed the sun shines!

Biggin Hill Residents’ Association – AGM – Sign Up
 
We’re delighted to announce our speaker this year is Peter Monk, owner of the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar. Some of you may have seen the recent TV programme which featured the amazing work Peter and his team undertake to restore our iconic WWII aircraft. Come and hear from him first-hand about the world’s largest working facility dedicated to the operation, maintenance and restoration of Spitfire aircraft. It’s sure to be a great night. 
 
We look forward to seeing you and we hope you’ll stay for some cheese and biscuits afterwards. Can we please ask you to wear a mask when moving around inside the church, unless you’re exempt on medical grounds? 
  
Also, just to note, as usual we’ll be flooding the village again this year with poppies to commemorate Remembrance Day. With COVID restrictions now eased, we’ll be outside the New Life Church in the lead up to Remembrance Sunday with our pop up shop, asking residents to sponsor a poppy and collecting donations for the Royal British Legions Poppy Appeal. Please give generously to this wonderful organisation. 
 
With very best regards from the Biggin Hill Residents Association Committee
