Jubilee

In 2022 the village joined the rest of the country in marking the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, celebrating seventy years of her reign.

A village celebration

Events like this bring neighbours together, and Wilberfoss has a good record of community effort. Residents, local groups and organisations all played a part in making the occasion a memorable one for the village.

The Wilberfoss Jubilee Project

The Jubilee Project has supported improvements for the benefit of the whole village over the years. For example, it helped fund the notice board on Main Street installed in 2018, alongside money raised through the East Riding Recycle Credit Scheme and generous donations.

You can find out more on the Wilberfoss Jubilee Project page.

Looking back

If you have photographs or memories of the Platinum Jubilee in Wilberfoss, please let the Parish Clerk know. We would love to hear them.

Celebrating together

Jubilee celebrations are remembered for the people who took part more than for anything else. Street gatherings, community meals and flags on display are all part of how villages across the country marked the occasion.

If your group would like to organise a village event in the future, the Parish Clerk can advise on who to talk to and whether any permissions are needed.
