Saffron Walden’s Platinum Jubilee Extravaganza

2 June, 2022 - 5 June, 2022

Saffron Walden’s Platinum Jubilee Extravaganza took place from Thursday 02 – Sunday 05 June 22 and went exceptionally well, and without incident.  Enjoyed by thousands over the four days, it has received much positive feedback for Saffron Walden Town Council (SWTC).  SWTC has formally thanked all event sponsors including grant awarding bodies, commemorative programme prize sponsors, suppliers and entertainers, for their part in what was a successful weekend of events for SWTC.  As well at the event co-ordination, SWTC officers and staff organised a ‘Beach on the Common’ for the half term holiday, produced a commemorative programme with prize draw, followed a structured publicity campaign and sourced grant funding and sponsorship.

At very short notice, SWTC Officers were pleased for Saffron Walden to make it onto ITV News where the national weather was filmed from Saffron Walden Common on Wed 1st June.

Feedback and Testimonials

“Please pass on my thanks and congratulations to all the Town Council teams for planning, arranging and staffing such an impressive four days of celebration. You must all be exhausted!  CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!”

“Well done and thank you for your hard work. There was a great range of activities for all ages and the free events would have been appreciated by families on low incomes. My children will remember the weekend for a long time”

“Well done Town Council, a fantastic free four day event which was well supported by the Town, hope you get the credit you deserve Could the Community Day be an annual event please”

“I think that everyone involved is to be congratulated. It was a varied programme of events for people of all ages and there was a good turnout of staff from the Town Council so there were people on hand if required. Thank you all for your efforts – we really appreciated them.”

Regarding the Beach:

“Loved it and would also love for it to be a permanent/ extended thing. So many families were talking about how great it was. I am sure families would pay for this service in order to help make it permanent.”
