To celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s staggering 70 years on the throne there will be plenty of special events and activities taking place across the UK and the Commonwealth – both official and unofficial.
The celebratory extended bank holiday weekend runs from Thursday June 2 to Sunday June 5 and in addition to events such as Trooping the Colour and the Platinum Party at the Palace, there will also be thousands of street parties, special afternoon teas and picnics happening to toast her majesty’s reign.
Locally two venues are pulling out all the stops to ensure the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is one you’ll never forget
At One Warwick Park Hotel from June 1 to 5 you can indulge in a Platinum Jubilee afternoon tea in order to mark the longest reigning monarch in the history of the UK.
In addition to its traditional offering (£25 per person) you can upgrade to a Prosecco afternoon tea (£28.50) or a Champagne one (£28.50) which includes a glass of Louis Roederer Brut. Each one offers a selection of home baked sultana scones, freshly cut finger sandwiches and assorted homemade seasonal sweet treats. The four star hotel located just by The Pantiles is also offering a Children’s Afternoon Tea priced £12.50 per person.
