Eden Communities Cymru Helping Welsh Communities to Thrive. The Big Lunch - Y Cinio Mawr 5-8 June 2026. Share food, fun and make friends with your neighbours.

Helping Welsh communities to thrive with and
Yn helpu cymunedau Cymru i ffynnu gyda a

The Big Lunch is a simple idea: it's all about getting people together to share food and talk so that friendships and communities flourish. Every year, on the first weekend in June, The Big Lunch gives you an opportunity to get involved in a UK-wide celebra

tion of your community. And of course, the annual event is just the spark: who knows what can grow out of that initial connection. We're here to help you every step of the way as you get involved in making where you live even better. We'd love to hear about your plans, a little note from you will make our day, so please get in touch : )
