Queen's Platinum Jubilee – how it's being celebrated in Castle Donington and Leicestershire

A host of special events will be held in Castle Donington and the city and county this year to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee and mark her 70-year reign as monarch.

Mike Kapur, Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire, has announced that he will be hosting a garden party for people turning 70 in 2022 as well as the planting of trees and an art competition for primary school children.

Castle Donington Parish Council will be supporting the remarkable achievement of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth by holding a number of its own special events and activities.

An extended four-day bank holiday, from Thursday, 2nd June to Sunday, 5th June 2022, has been chosen for the celebratory weekend and it is for this reason, that other usual spring and summer events will not be taking place this year.
