A giant birthday cake will be unveiled at lunchtime on Friday and will be big enough to feed 2,000 hungry visitors.  Jump to the front of the queue by retweeting Covent Garden on Twitter

The life-sized Piazza party games will be going on throughout the weekend: Games like the classic market trader “basket race” and a “human fruit machine”.

There’ll also be a fantastic line-up of interactive workshops and the area’s favourite street performers will put on an evening cabaret.

It’s sure to be a wonderful weekend of celebration, so don’t miss out!
