Fifties fun for all the family at Platinum Jubilee celebrations in Dewsbury

There was fifties fun for all the family as Dewsbury celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Dewsbury Community Outreach hosted a 1950s themed afternoon tea at Dewsbury Elim Church to bring together families who have recently moved to the area.

The event included activities such as 50s games, children’s party games, a bouncy castle, face painting, 50s music and Hungarian dancing, as well as an afternoon tea including the nostalgic “mucky fat sarnie”.

Longcauseway Church held a Jubilee Community Lunch with support from the Dewsbury Cares Community Group.

It featured children’s games, activities, entertainment, music from Karen Clegg, and a light lunch featuring items made by the winners of the church's Jubilee baking competition.
