The Peterborough Telegraph has compiled a list of events for families to do in Peterborough this bank holiday weekend.
From today, a special four-day bank holiday weekend (from June 2 to June 5) will take place – celebrating Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
In 2015, The Queen became the longest reigning monarch in British history, surpassing the reign of her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria.
On February 6 this year, she became the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee – marking the 70th anniversary of her accession to the throne in 1952.
This bank holiday weekend encourages everyone across the UK to come together to celebrate her 70 years of service to the people of the UK, the Realms and the Commonwealth.
Here is the Peterborough Telegraph’s list of five things for families to do over the bank holiday weekend:
1. Rumble Live's 'Big Family Camp Out'
Rumble Live - Cambridgeshire’s award-winning family-friendly woodland attraction at Grafham Water - is hosting its first overnight family camping event on today (Thursday, June 2). The 'Big Family Camp Out', which costs £50, includes a spot to pitch your tent in the woods, three 60-minute Rumble Live woodland laser tag sessions and evening campfire food - including hot dogs, toasted marshmallows and bacon rolls for breakfast.
