Events in Queen Elizabeth Park
There are 13 upcoming events — details below.
We’re always keen to hear about new ideas for events, so please get in touch if there is anything you wish to see on the calendar or even if you would like to organise your own event.
Litter picking is being done all year round by volunteers on an individual basis — please contact us if you would like to help out with this.
Annual General Meeting
Thursday 15th June, 19:00 - 21:00
Come and join us for our Annual General Meeting in the Council Chamber at the Rushmoor Borough Council Offices, GU14 7JU.
We have two interesting talks:
- Our very own Queen Elizabeth Park Management Plan, prepared by the Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership and Rushmoor Borough Council. Anyone with an interest in the park’s future can read this and is welcome to come and ask questions.
- An enlightening Researched History of Queen Elizabeth Park which has been assembled from press reports and local knowledge. Come and discover the history of the park! We’d love to hear your memories too.
The agenda will also include:
- Welcome and introduction
- Election of committee members
- Constitutional changes
- Future activities for the group next year
Great Big Green Lunch
Saturday 17th June 2023, 12:00 - 14:00
We are supporting Friends of the Earth’s annual Great Big Green Week again this year by hosting a Great Big Green Lunch in the glade at Queen Elizabeth Park
- Bring your own picnic and rug/chair
- Music from out local ukulele group (some of it Father’s Day themed!)
- Display of Letters to Tomorrow from our green postbox
The Great Big Lunch is all about having fun and enjoying being outdoors and we also hope that everyone will find the Letters to Tomorrow thought-provoking — especially in these times when our environment is under threat from the effects of climate change.
Parking is limited, so if you can, why not leave your car at home and load up your wheelbarrow instead!
