The Big Lunch 2024

The Big Lunch brings neighbours and communities together to share friendship, food and fun.  An idea from the Eden Project, made possible by the National Lottery, it started back in 2009, and takes place each year in June. It’s about celebrating community connections and getting to know one another a little better.

Events can be big or small, inside or outside, casual or filled with all sorts of games, activities and excitement. The main thing is that people come together for food, friendship and fun.  Sign up for your free Big Lunch pack for lots of ideas, tips and resources to help you start planning including poster and invitation templates. You can also sign up for our newsletter or follow us on social (@edencommunities) to receive updates, advice and Big Lunch news.
