The Lexicon will be supporting The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Beacon Trail, an interactive geogaming story-telling trail for families to follow around the town centre, which will commence May 2 2022. Along the trail, visitors will not only discover cute characters, but also get to see them burst to life in augmented reality. And, families can capture this special moment in time at the Queen’s Jubilee selfie station located on Braccan Walk North opposite Skechers, opening from May 20 2022. 

The Lexicon and Bracknell Forest Council will also be taking part in the Platinum Jubilee Beacon, which will be lit in Union Square in the evening of Thursday, June 2, 2022. Bracknell Forest Council is looking for people to share their own encounters and memories about HRH The Queen to become a lasting video celebration, which will be available for everyone to view in Princess Square from June 1 2022. 

On Saturday, April 30 and Sunday May 1 2022, between 11.00 am and 4.00 pm a video crew will be in Princess Square, ready to record visitors’ royal recollections. Cllr Marc Brunel-Walker, executive member for economic development and regeneration at Bracknell Forest Council says:   “With the Borough’s close proximity to the Royal Family, so many of us have stories and memories to share.   The Joyful Jubilee Studio is a fabulous community led tribute to HRH The Queen. “The celebrations will run across the borough, more details to follow. This really is a chance for communities to get together and celebrate this joyous event.”
