Home The Queen's Diamond Jubilee

London Pride Banner

To celebrate we are hosting a four day festival showcasing six decades of art and design in London. We also have other attractions planned for this great event.

The Queen's Visit

Her Majesty The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh visited Valentines Mansion and Gardens on Thursday 29 March as part of the Diamond Jubilee Tour. They visited the London Pride art and design Festival and exhibition, celebrating six decades of art and design in London.

Sponsor provides unique uniform

Joules provided the uniform for volunteers working during The Queen's visit to Redbridge, this included the Monty Jumper which features a corgi, as the design was inspired by The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Joules thought the whole thing was a wonderful idea and event organisers think The Queen was impressed by the personal touch, as her love of the breed is well known.
