In May this year, their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort will celebrate their Coronation Weekend (what is a Coronation). 

To celebrate, communities are being invited to take part in two events during a special bank holiday, extra-long weekend from Saturday 6th to Monday 8th May 2023.

The Coronation Big Lunch – Sunday 7th May 2023

Neighbours and communities across the United Kingdom are invited to share food and fun together at Coronation Big Lunches on Sunday 7th May 2023, in a nationwide act of celebration and friendship. From a cup of tea with a neighbour to a street party, a Coronation Big Lunch brings the celebrations to your neighbourhood and is a great way to get to know your community a little better.

The Big Help Out – Monday 8th May 2023

The Big Help Out will encourage people to try volunteering for themselves and join the work being undertaken to support their local areas. The aim of The Big Help Out is to use volunteering to bring communities together and create a lasting volunteering legacy from the Coronation Weekend. What will you volunteer to do on Monday?
