We're supporting The Big Lunch: Sunday 5th June 2011

The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many of the 61 million people in the UK as possible to have lunch with their neighbours once a year.

Since starting in 2009, thousands of Big Lunches have taken place in all kinds of communities and the best part of a million people took part each year. A record number of people right across the country are expected to take part in 2011.

A Big Lunch can be anything from a few neighbours getting together in the garden or on the street, to a full blown party with food, music and decoration that quite literally stops the traffic.

To receive your free Big Lunch Starter Pack, simply register your planned event online at www.thebiglunch.com or alternatively call 0845 850 8181 to speak to one of the team.
