Celebrating the Platinum Jubilee

It is ten years since we launched the Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge, which saw 1,392 green spaces across the UK protected forever to mark HM The Queen's Diamond Jubilee. As our Patron celebrates her Platinum Jubilee, we are encouraging green spaces protected as Queen Elizabeth II Fields to join the celebrations by nominating themselves for UK's Favourite Parks 2022. The park to receive the most votes will be named UK's Favourite Queen Elizabeth II Field 2022.

Thank you for joining us in celebrating HM The Queen's Platinum Jubilee year by voting for your local Queen Elizabeth II Field for UK's Favourite Parks 2022! Voting has now closed.
