2023年5月20日，由上海英国商会主办的首届“上海英国日”大型户外休闲活动在上海惠灵顿外籍人员子女学校圆满举办。
On 20 May, BritCham Shanghai successfully held the inaugural Great British Day Out event at Wellington College International Shanghai.
本届英国日活动由维珍航空特别呈现，从上午11时至下午5时许，吸引了60多家品牌摊位、近1,500名来自不同国家和文化背景的观众前来打卡参与。上海英国日是一场综合性户外文化休闲活动，旨在为上海的国际和本土社群提供出游放松、亲子互动和沉浸式体验英伦文化的好机会。
This year, the Virgin Atlantic Great British Day Out welcomed nearly 1,500 participants and over 60 booth stakeholders joining from BritCham Shanghai members, community friends and partners. Proudly presented by BritCham Shanghai, the British Day was a one-day outdoor event celebrating British culture and offering participants of all nationalities a relaxing day with family and friends to enjoy fun activities, music, prizes and great food and drink.
在天使般的童声合唱中，英国日舞台活动环节正式拉开帷幕；英国驻上海总领事胡克定（Chris Wood）和上海英国商会会长邓斯图（Stuart Dunn）登台致开幕词。
Starting with the angelic singing by a children’s choir, we were delighted to host Chris Wood, British Consul-General Shanghai, and Stuart Dunn, Executive Director of BritCham Shanghai for welcome remarks.
精彩非凡的一天见证了无数的欢笑时刻和美好瞬间。观众们一同领略活力四射的乐队表演、英国日足球杯比赛、苏格兰传统风笛、科技创意节目和由女童子军们带来的环保主题舞台演出；品尝英式风情餐饮，体验下午茶礼仪和野餐；参与丰富的体育项目、互动游戏、宠物领养和多轮幸运抽奖。
Energetic band performances, the British Day (Football) Cup, traditional Scottish bagpipes, on-stage science & technology performances, and Girl Scouts’ environmental protection-themed performance brought countless laughs and wonderful moments to participants of all ages. British food and beverage, picnic and afternoon tea etiquette experience, sports programmes, a variety of interactive games, pet adoption and rounds of lucky draws kept everyone busy throughout the day.
更值得一提的是贯穿全天的趣味问答——由现场观众自行组队、参与并回答一系列和英国文化及趣闻轶事相关的问题。最终获胜的团队赢得了由维珍航空赞助的大奖—两张上海往返伦敦的尊尚客舱机票。
One of the most notable activities was the Pub Quiz by Ned Kelly, featuring questions on British culture and fun facts. The winning team won the TOP Prize of two ‘Shanghai to London round trip Premium Class’ tickets sponsored by Virgin Atlantic.
期待明年的英国日活动与大家再会！
Looking forward to next year’s British Day!
