The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many people as possible across the whole of the UK to have lunch with their neighbours in a simple act of community, friendship and fun.

Last year on Sunday 5th June the best part of two million people took part. This year it falls on the same weekend as The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations on Sunday 3rd June 2012 and St Michael's Mount joins the nationwide celebration for the first time.

Come along for a special lunch with neighbours and friends and enjoy your food in the beautiful surroundings of St Michael's Mount whilst listening to live musical entertainment on the village green. Bring your own picnic or grab a bite from the Island Cafe or National Trust Sail Loft Restaurant. As a special treat, we will also be opening our gardens on this day so do come and browse around the flora and fauna of our sub-tropical terraced gardens and enjoy the specatcular views out to Mount's Bay and the Lizard (normal admissions apply),

We will be giving away FREE red, white and blue jubilee cup-cakes in the Island Cafe on the day when you buy a cup of tea or coffee, so do come and join us and munch at the Jubilee Big Lunch.
