The Big Lunch serves up a 3D masterpiece

World-famous 3D artist Kurt Wenner created this five-by-five metre 3D masterpiece for The Big Lunch.  It took a total of four hours to create and sees giant sandwiches, fruit, cakes, burgers, buns and cups of tea breaking free from a Big Lunch table and “floating up” into the hands of the surrounding Big Lunchers.

He said:

“The scene I have created is vibrant, colourful and joyous, born from people of all walks of life coming together and enjoying the unique community and friendship feel of many Big Lunch events.”

Can we create something stunning in Cuthill Park?  Come on Prestonpans artists!

The Big Fabulous Cuthill Lunch: 18 July 2010

You are invited to join The Big Fabulous Cuthill Lunch.

What is it?

An outdoor feast in the company of others.

Imagine a summer's day on which millions of us, throughout the UK, sit down to have lunch together on every patch of common ground.

The food, entertainment and decorations we will have grown, cooked or created ourselves. This will be a day to break bread with one another and to put a smile on Britain's face.  It's called The Big Lunch and this is your invitation!

Why?

Sharing a meal with neighbours is something rarely done nowadays.  In fact, many people don’t even know who their neighbours are. The Big Lunch is a brilliant excuse for introducing yourself to those people that you’ve seen in the street or at the shops for years, or with whom your path keeps crossing - or folk you see everyday.

As if that wasn’t reason enough for getting together,Cuthill Park is a beautiful place.   It was gifted to the community and should be used by it!

Who?

You!  Your friends, your members, your neighbours

What to bring?

a picnic,

something to sit on ,

and maybe something to entertain yourself or others (whether that’s a Frisbee or a guitar is up to you).

When/Where?

Sunday 18 July, 2010 from 2.00 p.m. in Cuthill Park, Prestongrange Road, Prestonpans

 B.Y.O.P.*

*Picnic (or, Party, Plaything, Paperback, Pastels, Pogo-stick, Petition, Pram, Plate, Pan Pipes, Playhouse, Puppy, Plant, Pencil,Petanque, Piano, Parasol, Pamphlet…)

Musical, theatrical, artistic, horticultural and culinary talents, to name but a few ways to contribute, are all very welcome.   Just remember the emphasis is on: FREE, COMMUNITY and ENVIRONMENT.

So What Next?

If you want to share your plans then let us know and we'll spread the word!

See you there!
