The Big Lunch, an event started to get people across the UK to have lunch with their neighbours, is coming to Leytonstone on Sunday.

Taking place at Church Lane Community Garden, on Harold Road, at noon the event, weather permitting, will include a two hour shared picnic lunch.

Young and old residents are invited to bring vegetarian food to share and to bring their own crockery and cutlery to ensure no waste.

There will be a pedal-powered smoothie maker and some soft drinks provided, but it is an alcohol-free picnic.

Hosted by Transition Leytonstone, the meal will be followed by stalls and family activities.
