Jubilee Street and Garden Party Ideas

We Brits love a bit of competitive sport, so set up some garden games – they’re sure to go down a treat with friends and family, including the kids. These sets will bring plenty of smiles and laughter to your celebrations: Kingfisher Giant Tower Block Set, Kingfisher Wooden Garden Skittles Set, Activo Cricket Set with Carry Bag, Kingfisher Wooden Garden Quoits Set, Kingfisher Giant Dominoes Garden Game.

The British weather can be unpredictable so be prepared for showers and hot sun with a gazebo. This Outsunny 2.7m Garden Gazebo provides welcome shade in hot summer weather, while this Monaco 3m x 3m Folding Gazebo with Sides will shield your guests from showers.

With your recipes from The Big Lunch, or your own favourite British classics, you can create snacks your guests will love. 

No need for a trip to Fortnum & Mason – make your own royally good cakes and bakes with the help of a hand or stand mixer, or use this Robert Dyas 12-Cup Muffin Tray for fairy cakes. Some great quality pans will ensure your savoury snacks are also first-class.

Afternoon tea anyone? Serve up some classic British treats with the Premier Housewares 2-Tier Cake Stand - Slate or this Maison 2-Tier Cake Stand with a stunning white marble and gold finish. The perfect piece for serving your homemade crowning glory.

For mains and snacks, the Waterside 18-Piece Platinum Band Dinner Set is the ideal choice for marking the Platinum Jubilee, while this Waterside 12-Piece Gold Charger Plates Set will add a regal feel to sit-down lunches.

Lay down this Eclat Tasselled Table Runner. When topped with fancy crockery and plentiful sparkling glasses, it’ll be a table fit for a Queen.

Whether it’s old British classics or a modern 2022 playlist, create instant atmosphere with some music. This MIXX XBoost Portable Wireless Party Speaker streams music wirelessly via your phone, tablet, laptop, USB stick or micro SD card. Ask your guests for their favourites and create a personalised playlist everyone will love.

The last thing you want is for your guests to be unable to take a seat, so make sure you have plenty of thrones available. Folding chairs, like this Robert Dyas FSC Country Armchair, are perfect for accommodating an extra guest or two. If you’re on a budget, camping chairs will do the trick – try this Quest Festival Pack Away Chair. 

If it’s folding tables you need for all your food and drink, this Outsunny Aluminium Extendable Picnic Table is ideal.

No one wants wasps and pests buzzing around their summer food, so have some insect control products on hand like this electronic Bat Bug Zapper.

Holding a street party is very simple and doesn’t require a licence, but don't forget - before you make any plans, check if your local council requires you to complete a simple application form. If you encounter any difficulties, your local councillor will be happy to help. Visit the government’s website (www.gov.uk) for further guidance.
