Eden Project

The Big Lunch is an idea from the Eden Project and is the UK’s annual celebration for neighbours and communities bringing millions of people together in a nationwide act of friendship every year since 2009. Her Majesty The Queen has been Patron of The Big Lunch since 2013.

We bring people together and support them to make positive changes where they live. Find the ideas, actions and inspiration to help you get involved with your community.
