Wynyard Queen’s Jubilee event a huge success thanks to support from leading housebuilder

Wynyard residents gathered at Wynyard Hall to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee as part of an event which was supported by five star homebuilder, Barratt Developments North East.

The Wynyard Residents Association hosted an event for the local community on Saturday 4th June in celebration of the Queen’s Jubilee. Taking place at the picturesque Wynyard Hall, the day was split into two separate events for local residents and visitors to enjoy. The first event was an outdoor picnic for families, which included stalls, competitions, and children’s activities. The second event, which ran in the evening for adults, saw the Queen’s Jubilee concert broadcast live from London on a large outdoor screen.

To continue to support the communities in which it builds, Barratt Developments North East was an official sponsor of the event and donated £250 to the Wynyard Residents Association Queen’s Jubilee for the outdoor screen. This allowed all evening attendees to watch a live stream of the Queen’s Jubilee Concert.

Pauline Winter, Treasurer at Wynyard Residents Association said: “We’re grateful to Barratt Developments North East for sponsoring our event and making a donation, which allowed us to rent a large outdoor screen to live stream the Queen’s Jubilee Concert as part of the Jubilee celebrations. The event was fantastic and almost 500 people attended the picnic, with a further 350 people in the evening, so it was great to see such a large turn out. Myself and the residents of Wynyard couldn’t thank Barratt enough for contributing to its success!”

Gill Hurst, Sales Manager at Barratt Developments North East said: “Wynyard is a fantastic place to live and the event organised by the Wynyard Residents Association goes an extremely long way to demonstrate this. We’re always keen to support the communities in which we build and as we have developments in and near to Wynyard, it was a pleasure to support the event organised by the Wynyard Residents Association and see it all come together.”

To further celebrate the 70th anniversary of The Queen’s reign, Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes has planted over 1,500 trees in communities across Britain. The Jubilee Big Tree Plant sees the country’s largest housebuilder plant trees to recognise the Queen’s wish to create a legacy for future generations. Barratt Homes has also become a long-term partner of the Royal Horticultural Society, whose patron is the Queen. Barratt Homes, which was named Sustainable House Builder of the Year, will sponsor the water feature within the show-shopping Paradise Garden at RHS Bridgewater in Salford, the first urban garden created by the RHS.
