To honour the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Trowbridge Town Council are hosting a collaborative event in Trowbridge Park on Tuesday 7th June, uniting schools from across Trowbridge and its surrounding parishes.
We will be hosting a picnic celebration with music, dance and fun Royal themed activities provided by Trowbridge Museum. As part of the event, we will be dedicating a newly planted tree to form part of the Queen’s Green Canopy. We have been working with local schools to create a special town time capsule that will be buried as part of the event.
We hope that this commemorative Jubilee picnic will be a fantastic celebration of an important national event.
From 1pm members of the public are invited to join us by the bandstand in the town park for the burial of our time capsule and tree dedication. There will be a special performance of the national anthem led by The Clarendon Academy choir to close the event.
This looks like a great event for the children and I was really looking forward to my child attending until his primary school decided to pull out as they felt that the council had not got all the necessary facilities in place to cope with the volume of children.
Please can you expand on this? It seems to me to be rather drastic to pull out unless something is very wrong?
Thanks for your comment if you wish to discuss, please contact Victoria on events@trowbridge.gov.uk
Wonderful – What a great way to provide a lasting memory for today’s generation of young folk – and a treasure for many years to come. I still remember the opening of the Bandstand in 1939. A small boy in a large crowd. I would love to have been there om Tuesday but age prevents. Instead I send my greetings. Long live Trowbridge Park.
