Pop the dates in your calendar – The Big Lunch 2024 will take place in June

The Big Lunch is once again coming to Bromley to help people come together to celebrate their community, neighbourhood friendships and street friends.

The Big Lunch is the UK’s annual get-together for neighbours and communities, with millions of people coming together for a few hours of food, friendship, and fun. It connects people and encourages friendlier, safer communities where people start to share more – conversations, ideas, skills, resources and friendship.

The Big Lunch is an initiative which comes from Eden Project Communities, an organisation which fosters & values connection, community & neighbourly spirits. The same organisation has brought us the Big Jubilee lunch in 2022, and the Big Coronation lunch in 2023.


The Big Lunch is the UK’s annual get-together for neighbours and communities, with millions of people coming together for a few hours of friendship, food and fun. We know that adults are more likely to feel lonely or isolated if they are disengaged from the community. This is why we are brining the whole community to these big lunches!
