Apr 27With His Majesty King Charles Coronation just around the corner and an extra bank holiday to celebrate, we’re sure plenty of people will be thinking of how they can mark this day that will go down in history. The first coronation in 70 years deserves quite the party so read on to get inspired for what you can do to mark King Charles Coronation.

When is King Charles coronation?
King Charles coronation will take place on Saturday 6th May 2023, but the celebrations will go on for the long bank holiday weekend, an extra bank holiday to mark the momentous occasion!
6 Ways to celebrate King Charles Coronation
1. Head into London
If you want to make a trip into London to witness a day in history, we can guarantee it’ll be a day to remember! You might not be able to make it into Westminster Abbey (unless you’re a pretty special royal VIP!) but you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of The King’s Procession on Saturday 6th May that begins at Buckingham Palace and finishes at Westminster Abbey. Got little ones in tow? Why not check out Tower Bridge and make your very own paper crowns and sashes, fit for any King or Queen.

2. Have a picnic and watch the live stream
What could be more quintessentially British than a lovely picnic? Whether you opt for an afternoon tea and some bubbly, or some takeaway pizza to indulge in for your choice of picnic, choose a spot that’s streaming the Coronation live on Saturday 7th May. You can find a list of all the areas with ginormous tellies you can lounge quite literally all day. Fingers crossed for good weather!

3. Join the Coronation Big Lunch
Fancy a big get-together? On Sunday 7th May, why not join The Coronation Big Lunch to share fun and food with your local community, friends, family and neighbours! Hosted by Eden Project, this wonderful initiative helps to bring people together. With thousands of Big Lunches expected to take place across the country in honour of the Coronation, why not check out where you can take part?!

4. Bake some coronation treats
We never need an excuse to bake up a sweet treat! Make it coronation themed and make some crown shaped cookies or even a classic Victoria sponge with some fresh strawberries to share at your street party, picnic, or however you’re celebrating King Charles Coronation. Want to cheat? We love these Coronation themed cookies from Honeywell bakes that deliver straight through the letterbox, we promise we won’t tell!

5. The Big Help Out
Give a little back across King Charles Coronation weekend with The Big Help Out. In honour of His Majesty The King’s public service and starting on Monday 8th May, (an extra bank holiday day woo!) thousands of organisations are encouraging people to offer a helping hand in your local area and are offering volunteering and charity opportunities for everyone to take part in, no matter you skills.

6. Head to an iconic venue to see the illuminations
On Sunday 7th May as part of The Coronation Concert, which will be shown on BBC for those wanting to stay local, you can expect a dazzling display of projections, drone displays and illuminations will be beamed across iconic national landmarks across the country.
