The ‘spreading the love’ fest aims to promote Milton Keynes as a destination as well as harnessing residents’ pride in where they live.

Organisers Destination MK are asking all Twitter users to use the hashtag LoveMK on all their tweets on the day, Thursday May 2.

Marketing manager Carys Underwood said: “We are encouraging people across MK to do random acts of kindness’ on the day.

“This doesn’t have to be anything huge - you could bake a cake for work colleagues, mow your neighbour’s lawn or buy the person behind you in the Starbucks queue a coffee.”

She added: “Every year the MK social media community really gets behind #LoveMK Day and this year’s theme aims to harness that support and make it really tangible. Why not get involved and help spread the love?”

Destination MK is also asking people of all ages to get creative by making banners, painting their faces, or even make a LoveMk masterpiece in Lego.

They have produced a special poster that can be downloaded from their website at www.destinationmiltonkeynes.co.uk
