PHAR Partnership announces partners for The Big Lunch
PHAR has been representing Eden Project, the iconic visitor destination and educational charity, since the start of 2011, sourcing partners across a number of its events and initiatives including The Big Lunch. The Big Lunch is a simple idea – to get as many of the 61 million people in the UK to sit down on one day and have lunch with their neighbours as a way of bringing communities together. In June 2011 over 2 million people took part.
Following discussions between Buckingham Palace and The Eden Project, the Big Lunch will form a centrepiece of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations and it is expected to attract over 5m participants on the weekend of June 3rd.
Over the past six months PHAR has brokered a number of commercial partnerships for the The Big Lunch.
