An online map showing street parties and celebrations for the Coronation has been launched.
The digital record of big lunches and volunteer days will be interactive and allow people to see what is going on in their area.
Event organisers are invited to load their celebrations on to the map as the countdown to the Coronation reaches the two month mark.
The map can be found on the official Coronation website.
As the record was revealed, Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer encouraged all organisers to get involved, saying “our interactive map will help you find activities, events and celebrations nearby. Whether you’re hosting a street party, planning a Big Lunch, a screening or activity for the Big Help Out, we want to hear from you. This is a fantastic occasion to come together with friends, family and your local community to mark this historic moment.”
A long weekend of celebrations are planned for the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. They will both be crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6th 2023 and the main series of Big Coronation Lunches and street parties are set to take place on May 7th 2023. There’s a special Bank Holiday in the UK on May 8th which has been designated the ‘Big Help Out’ to celebrate volunteers and pay tribute to The King’s lifetime of service. All events across the three days can be pinned on the map.
One of the events to be featured will be at a famous address not far from Westminster Abbey. The Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, has confirmed that he’ll be hosting a Big Coronation Lunch over the celebratory weekend.
