Over 1,300 mugs are to be distributed to schoolchildren across Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge this month to mark the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations.
The specially-commissioned commemorative Jubilee Mugs will be presented to all primary school children by the Town Mayor, Cllr Ken Smout, and the Chairman of the Town Council’s Diamond Jubilee Committee, Cllr Neville Jones, pictured.
The mugs will be presented to pupils over several days, starting on Tuesday 29th May at 10.30am at Burnham Infants School and followed at 1.35pm in St Andrew’s Junior School.
The presentations continue on Wednesday 30th May at 1.30pm at Churchfield School in Highbridge and at St Josephs School on Thursday 31 May at 1.30pm.
Cllr Jones told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We are delighted with how the mugs look. One side features the town crest and the other Her Majesty – they are a super lasting momento of the Jubilee.”
A total of 1,300 mugs will be distributed in schools with a further 500 being available at other venues.
