A Jubilee Street Party will be taking place on Andover High street on Friday.

Andover Jubilee Street Festival is a free event; a rich medley of food, music, dance, art and activities to represent the diverse culture and heritage of the people of Andover in 2022.

Street food stalls will offer flavours and free tasters from around the world, from Jamaican to Romanian and Fijian cuisine, as a mix of local businesses and community groups share the food they love to cook and eat.

There will also be a main stage line up of music, song and dance will showcase some of the different cultures and decades influenced by the reign of Elizabeth II. Highlights include The Classic Belles, Andover Loft Singers, music and dance students from Andover College, and The Imperial Balalaika Orchestra of Overton.

The fun does not stop there, on top of this there will be plenty of hands on activities to do. Pick up an Art Trail map on the high street which will lead you to nine different activity locations where you can take part in a range of art workshops, join Merry Go Round Storytelling for ‘The Corgi & The Crown’ live storytelling, immerse yourself in ‘wild drawing’ at Chapel Arts Studios, take a selfie at The Right Royal Tea Party and discover the clues to a Jubilee word hunt.

Wessex Film and Sound Archive will bring its ‘pop-up’ cinema to Andover to share footage from its extensive collection with visitors. Featuring highlights from the last 70 years, including Jubilee celebrations and Royal Visits to Hampshire.

In Riverside Park there will be a Punch and Judy Show and roaming magician, as well as African Drumming workshops every hour, for all ages and abilities. Take part and you can even join the show later in the afternoon on the main stage.
