Colchester Chinese Culture Society secured funding from the Arts Council England’s Let’s Create Jubilee Fund by UK Community Foundations, ensuring that creativity played an important role in local community celebrations for Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Colchester Chinese Cultural Society worked in partnership with Essex Cultural Diversity Project to deliver a series of events, supporting community engagement and participation.

The Let’s Create Jubilee Fund ensured that thousands of people from communities across England had the opportunity to take part in exciting creative events – all in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee.

Over the four day bank holiday weekend in 2022, Colchester Chinese Culture Society hosted several events as part of the national Platinum Jubilee Celebrations to mark this historic moment in history.

Captured here: For this event, communities were invited to bring picnics and traditional food from their own cultures, to take part in a huge community picnic on the Jaywick Sands Beach.
