The Big Lunch 2014 is being held on Sunday June 1. The Big Lunch is a chance to get together with your neighbours in the garden, in the street in a simple act of community, friendship and fun. The Big Lunch can be anything from a few neighbours getting together in the garden or on the street, to a full blown street party with food, music and decoration that quite literally stops the traffic.
