The King's Coronation — Street Parties
King Charles’ Coronation – Street Parties
King Charles’s Coronation will take place on 6th May 2023 and an additional Bank Holiday has been granted on Monday 8th May. Many people will be looking to hold a street party to celebrate this event so here’s a few points to guide you along the way.
In advance
Apply to the council for road closure a couple of months in advance
Try to involve as many people as possible, giving out jobs to everyone rather than having just one organiser
Plan activities for all ages and tastes
Ensure road signs, tables, chairs, food etc are organised in advance
Take out street party insurance:
Week before
Send out reminder to all residents including asking for cars to be moved if needed
If required display the legal order for road closure
On the day
Set up road closure barriers and put up bunting etc
Keep an eye on road closure in case someone wants to come in or out
Ensure the road is cleaned up and opened to traffic once the party is over
