Celebrating the Coronation: applications open for street parties
Communities across the Royal Borough are welcome to apply to hold a street party to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty the King, who will be crowned alongside The Queen Consort, in May 2023.
The extended bank holiday weekend will run from 6 to 8 of May 2023, offering an opportunity for communities to come together to mark this historic event.
Councillor Roger Hayes, Portfolio Holder for Community Engagement, said:
“We are proud to be the oldest Royal Borough, with such a rich and varied history. Kingston crowned seven Saxon Kings of England over one thousand years ago, which gives us a strong connection to Britain's royal history.
“Whether you are planning to host a big street party or share a cup of tea with a neighbour, Kingston’s community spirit will undoubtedly be at the heart of celebrations once again.”
Street parties are typically small in scale, attended by local residents and held on residential streets and include a road closure. Parties being held on private land, like driveways or in front gardens, don’t need to apply but some helpful guidance is available on the Street Meet website.
For more information, or to apply, please visit our street party webpage. The deadline for applications is 14 April 2023. Larger public events, that anyone is able to attend and that may use professional organisers, will need to use a different application process.

Further information on the Coronation will be released on The Royal Family’s website in due course.
