We have started collating the many events and activities taking place across Chippenham to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Please let us know if we have missed any. You can add events onto our event calendar here and we will ensure they get added to this blog.

You can also see the ‘Joy of Community’ bunting being displayed at the Yelde Hall during the 70 years – 70 faces exhibition. Decorated triangular flags are displayed as bunting. Created by local people in various mediums – the flags are a personal and artistic response to what our community means. Free entry.
31st May at Chippenham Museum – Party hats & crazy crowns
Drop into Chippenham Museum from 10.30am – 3.30pm to make an amazing piece of headwear – free event (donations welcome)
The Museum offers a quieter session before the museum is open to the public, ideal for those who would find the busy nature of drop-in activities uncomfortable. These sessions are also free, but spaces are limited and booking is essential. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please book a place for all attending here.
2nd June at the Bandstand, John Coles Park – The Mary Lou Revue Revue Bandstand Cabaret
Chippenham Borough Lands Charity are bringing this free event to Chippenham to help us celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. A postponed Fringe February event, this promises to be a great way to kick off the weekend events for all the family.
The Mary Lou Revue brings vintage song and dance to one and all. Classic Swing Jazz, Music Hall and Hollywood Musical favourites, with a few extra surprises thrown in. It’s a heartwarming, toe-tapping show for all ages, full of great songs, nifty dance sequences with plenty of encouragement to sing along and swing along. Guaranteed to put a spring in your step and a song in your heart! Bring a picnic and enjoy!
