The best food gifts to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee
Whether you're looking to enjoy tea and cake or a tipple.
2022 marks Queen's Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee - commemorating Her Majesty's 70 year reign on the throne. While some celebrations have already begun, the bulk of events (including street parties, parades and events) will fall on a special four-day Bank Holiday from 2 - 5 June 2022.
As seen with the Queen's previous Silver, Gold and Diamond Jubilees, giving gifts has become a popular way to help celebrate these historic occasions. Royal collectable memorabilia has been released to mark the Platinum Jubilee this year, as has been customary for previous jubilees, with retailers such as Emma Bridgewater and Fortnum & Mason releasing limited-edition products to mark the occasion.
If you're looking to gift a loved one something to help them remember the Platinum Jubilee, or are looking to treat yourself, food gifts can be a great way to do this. Whether you opt for foodie must-haves like a hamper or afternoon tea treats, or prefer to gift British tipples like dry gins or English sparkling wines, there are plenty of ways to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee in style with food and drink. In fact, what could be more British than enjoying a picnic or Pimm's to celebrate this joyous time!
