The Jubilee Committee has been working hard to make plans for a long weekend of celebrations in June.
On Sunday 3rd June Broad Street will be closed and an open air Church Service will take place. After that a Big Lunch event will be held with all eating establishments in Sodbury invited to open or have a stall on the Pitchings in Broad Street. People are invited to bring tables and chairs along with their own food to join in the fun. So far we have a Punch & Judy show and Alfredo the Clown visiting and more information will be available nearer the time.
We are inviting children of all ages to join in a fancy dress parade with a theme of Kings and Queens. There will be prizes for the best dressed children along with the best crowns.
On Monday there will be an afternoon of sports events on the Ridings which will culminate with a firework display and the lighting of the official beacon in the evening. People of all ages are invited to bring along picnics and there will also be food stalls available. We hope to be able to air the Jubilee concert during the evening.
The Committee is very much hoping that funding can be raised to hire a large screen television to air the Pageant on the Sunday and the Queens Concert on the Monday. The cost of this is £6200 for both days. If you wish to support the provision of the screen please contact the Town Clerk.
