About us
Barbican Theatre, Plymouth is excited to be bringing a Giant's Tea Party & Parade to Keyham as part of the community's Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations on 2 June.
This event follows the first tea party event held at Keyham Green Places in March 2022 where the party-goers met the giants designed and made by members of the Keyham community (including members of The Scouts, Keyham Krafties and Wolseley Wanderers) enjoyed a picnic, treasure hunt, music, junk band workshops and crafting.
The Keyham Giants project has involved schools and community groups from the Keyham, Ford and Devonport area. They will be spending time with specialist community art leaders, puppeteers, musicians and theatre companies to build their own Plymouth Giant puppets for a Giant Jubilee Tea Party and experience a community arts event of giant proportions.
These community groups, trusts and partners set up in each residential area will be given funding and a team of community creatives, cultural partners and the specialist support they need to build their very own giant, who represents their community spirit and culture.
The giants' parade will start from 12noon on Thursday 2 June travelling, along the residential streets with music and movement. The parades will meet at North Downs Park at around 12:45-1pm for a Giant tea party, where all are invited to join in.
There will be additional activities, plenty of cake and roaming performances for the public to see and be part of, before and after the giant's tea party, as well as party games and other fun family friendly activities planned at the Wolseley Trust and Scout Hut towards the end of the afternoon. All events are free and everyone is welcome to join in as much as they want to.

Activities and the parade will take place between 11am and 4pm. A leaflet with information about the Keyham Giant's Jubilee Tea Parade and a parade route map will be delivered to homes in the Keyham and Ford area the week before the events take place (inside The Waterfront & West Chronicle), so residents don't miss it!
The Keyham Giants' Jubilee Tea Party and Parade is created by Barbican Theatre, in partnership with The Wolseley Trust, and funded by Keyham Community Sparks Grant and Arts Council England's Let's Create Jubilee Fund.
