the idea was a simple one. what would happen if everyone in the country stopped what they were doing for one moment and sat down and had lunch with their neighbours? the likelihood is that it would at the very least put a smile back on britain’s face – and that importantly, in time, a whole host of good things would flow from the strengthening of communities. sunday 19th july 2009 was the first big lunch and now the seed has been sown we look forward to the event growing year after year. the day saw up to a million people around the UK stop traffic for a few happy hours as neighbours sat down to share a big lunch. thousands of neighbourhoods broke out the bunting for this glorious celebration of community spirit in the biggest collection of open-air parties since the golden jubilee. and they loved it//
