The event will be part of a four-day national Bank Holiday weekend from June 2 to 5 to mark the Queen's 70 years on the throne.
Beacons will also be lit across the UK, with Morecambe’s Beacon Lighting Ceremony to take place on the Stone Jetty from 6pm to 10pm on June 2 with live music, pyrotechnics, fireworks, food stalls and a DJ, with the beacon being lit at 9.45pm.
The event is supported by Lancaster City Council, EDF and the Eden Project, who launched the Big Lunch idea as an annual date to celebrate and give thanks to communities.
