What is The Great Get Together?
People are being invited to come together with friends, neighbours and others they don’t yet know for street parties, picnics, barbeques and bake-off competitions. It follows the first anniversary of Jo Cox’s murder on June 16 last year.
The Great Get-Together will take place over the weekend of June 17 and 18. The weekend will be an opportunity to celebrate all that Britain’s diverse communities hold in common.
