This is an opportunity for communities to come together to celebrate. On a National level, the following events are happening:

Parish and Town Councils, as well as groups, are also busy organising events for their communities.

For information about what is happening in your parish or town, please get in touch with your Parish Council, and check the Parish noticeboard or Facebook page to find an event near you.
