Verwood Town Council has already made plans to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June next year.

And there will be lots happening.

Events include a Vintage Village Fair and demonstrations on Verwood Memorial Recreation Ground and Ferrett Green; A teddy bear’s picnic; an evening of local bands at the Verwood Hub; a church service on the Verwood Memorial Recreation Ground and a Verwood Concert Brass concert.

In addition there will be street parties if residents want to hold them with the town council offering help with organising.

A spokesman said: “The town council will be looking to work with the carnival committee and other clubs and societies to make this a fabulous weekend of celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.”
