“With 337 individual bookings, all with different requests for location along the 1km line, this has felt like a hugely complicated jigsaw puzzle,” said volunteer Louise.

The party forms part of a ten day festival which begins on June 2 and ends on June 12.

The Festival team are calling for volunteers to help marshal shifts along the stretch, tidying, as well as trained first aiders willing to be on call.

“It takes a whole community to arrange a day like this, not just to create the incredible atmosphere that we are expecting on the day, but to make sure it runs smoothly and safely and is enjoyable for everyone” says Ginny Avery, GAP Festival Artistic Director.

“We have been delighted by the positive response to our plans to honour this momentous occasion and for all the kind offers of help we’ve received so far. This year’s GAP Festival is all about uniting our community through celebration, and the street party is the epitome of this.”

Tickets to the wider ten-day cultural GAP Festival programme are open to anyone and includes an audience with Sunday-Times best-selling author Stacey Halls, comedy with Funny Women’s Award Winner Harriet Braine and with a former British Prime Minister.

There are also a host of events to turn up to, such as the ‘fringe’ live music events, as well as those that you can book last minute, including two dates of stunning open gardens, and a range of early morning fitness and wellbeing sessions.

Tickets are available online at www.thegapfestival.org. Offers of help for the Jubilee Street party can be sent to ron@gapfestival.org.
