There's now just 15 days to go until the Diamond Jubilee weekend, our phones are ringing non-stop with orders and we're receiving hundreds of online orders every day!

Due to the huge demand of Diamond Jubilee products leading up to this historic occasion, we've tried our best to keep as many items in stock as we can, but unfortunately there are now several items completely out of stock, and there are some we are able to re-stock for delivery after the Jubilee weekend.

If an item becomes out of stock upon ordering, you will be sent an acknowledgement via email to notify you of this item. If you would like an alternative item, please then submit a new order with your requirements.

Click here to view our regularly updated Out of Stock page so you can keep track of what's available.

As you may already be aware, it is no longer possible to get personalised Diamond Jubilee mugs anywhere in the country. Don't despair though, we still have THREE styles of standard mugs which are AVAILABLE FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH! There's also no minimum order, meaning you could just order 1 mug for yourself if you wish, and we're still running the special offer of FREE DELIVERY on orders over 504 Diamond Jubilee mugs (UK Mainland only) which is perfect for those of you wanting to order a large amount for your school or organisation.

Please be quick to place your order though. We currently have approximately 8,900 mugs here in stock at Jubilee House, which may seem a large amount but the quantity is going down by the hour. So don't delay - order today!

As the Diamond Jubilee weekend approaches, we thought it was important to have a big push on advertising our Diamond Jubilee supplies website, and what better way to get the message across to the people of Lincolnshire than by having a radio advert on Lincs Fm 102.2!

The first airing will take place on Tuesday 1st May shortly after the 7am news and weather update, and will be repeated several times each day throughout the week. We hope you like it!

There's many reports about companies running out of products for the upcoming Diamond Jubilee, but we're proud to announce that we have a large amount of stock here with us at Jubilee House!

When preparations began many, many months ago, we knew it was imperative to order plenty of Jubilee supplies and Union Jack items. Hearing these rumours about others completely running out of stock with 6 weeks still to go until the Diamond Jubilee weekend, we know we made the correct choice.

We obviously don't have an unlimited supply of everything, so orders are being dealt with on a 'first come first serve' basis. With our Buy 3 Get 1 Free offer ending on 30th April, it would be beneficial to get your orders in early to avoid any disappointment.

To commemorate the Diamond Jubilee Tour, we have designed a delightful 4 page guide to show the visit dates, and also a selection of our products to inspire you for your celebrations if the Queen is happening to visit your town or city.

RUNNING IMP REGISTERS FIRST OFFICIAL DIAMOND JUBILEE BEACON IN LINCOLN

Running Imp, the UK’s leading supplier of Diamond Jubilee mementoes and party products, has been confirmed as the first business in Lincoln to register for a Diamond Jubilee beacon to celebrate the historic occasion this summer.­

The company, already established as a leading supplier of Jubilee products following on from their hugely popular range of Golden Jubilee products in 2002, has announced plans to join in the celebrations during the extended central Bank Holiday weekend of 2nd-5th June 2012.

Events can register for their own Diamond Jubilee beacon at www.diamondjubileebeacons.co.uk.

Her Majesty The Queen has graciously agreed to light the National Beacon on Monday 4th June following the concert at Buckingham Palace.

In 1897 beacons were lit nationally to celebrate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. In 1977 and 2002 beacons were lit to celebrate The Queen's Silver and Golden Jubilees.

The beacon at Jubilee House, home of Running Imp, will be lit in front of an estimated 200 people, all of which will be personally invited by Managing Directors Caroline Birkin and Chris Illsley.

A hog roast and celebratory drinks along with entertainment will be sure to keep the party spirits high all evening as a thank you to staff and company associates for their contribution in making this venture a huge success.

Running Imp’s dedicated new website diamondjubilee.uk.com features an eye-catching range of commemorative mugs, medals and coins, not to mention all the essential items you will need to host your very own street party this summer.

5 Mar 2012

There's now less than 4 weeks to order your Personalised Diamond Jubilee 'Coins' to guarantee delivery for the big weekend!

38mm and 50mm 'coins' are available with the Official Queen's Diamond Jubilee emblem on the front, personalised with your exclusive school crest, logo or design on the reverse.

The minimum order for all options is only 50 (then in multiples of 10), so even the smallest school or celebration can benefit.

All 3 options of personalised 'coins' are available with an Antique Gold, Antique Silver or Shiny Silver finish, please state colour when ordering.

For every Personalised Diamond Jubilee 'Coin' you order, you'll also receive a free hand-held Union Jack flag!

1 Mar 2012
