In 2022, Her Majesty The Queen became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, having acceded to the throne on the 6 February 1952 when she was just 25 years old.
Fareham has a history of recognising significant Royal milestones, so to commemorate this anniversary, we have planned a series of community events and activities within the Borough.
Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Park
To celebrate Her Majesty's 70 years of service we have created a sponsored tree planting scheme within Abbey Meadows, Titchfield.
The Queen's Copse will become a secluded and protected wildlife habitat to encourage biodiversity in the area, and Fareham residents, community groups, organisations, clubs and businesses can sponsor trees either for themselves or in memory of a loved one.
Visit the webpage to find out more.
In 2021, a unique nationwide tree planting initiative 'The Queen's Green Canopy' was launched offering people across the United Kingdom the opportunity to "Plant a Tree for the Jubilee".
You can find out more about this initiative on the website. 
On Thursday 2 June 2022, it is anticipated that more than 1,500 beacons will be lit across the UK at 9.45pm and Fareham is set to light its own beacon from Portchester Castle. This free event will provide live music, food and drink concessions and children's activities so that the whole community can come together and pay tribute to The Queen at this momentous time.
Watch this space for more information later in the year!
The Council is currently offering a local business the opportunity to promote themselves to the Fareham Community by acting as headline sponsor for this event and more details can be found on the webpage here.
The Big Jubilee Lunch will be taking place on Sunday 5 June across the Nation.
Every year since the idea began in 2009, The Big Lunch has encouraged communities to celebrate their connections and get to know each other a little bit better. You can host your own Jubilee Lunch and sign up for a free pack to help get you started.
If you would like to hold your own street party to celebrate The Queen's Jubilee please visit this webpage to find out more.
To provide a lasting commemoration, the public open space that is currently referred to as Daedalus Common will be named 'Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Park' and a formal opening of the open space has been organised in honour of The Queen later this year.
Once opened, this space will provide footpaths, cycle paths, wildlife habitats and dog walking areas, the Daedalus sculpture and commemorative seating. The aviation-themed children's play area adjacent to the entrance of the park on Gosport Road, which opened last year, is also being renamed.
