Events to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III.
The Coronation ceremony for His Majesty King Charles III will take place on Saturday 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey.
The Coronation will see people across the UK and the Commonwealth come together to celebrate. The Coronation programme will include the procession and service at Westminster Abbey on 6 May, the ‘Coronation Big Lunch’ across the country on 7 May (with a concert taking place in Windsor in the evening), and ‘The Big Help Out’ community activity on the bank holiday, Monday 8 May.
Street parties and how to apply for a road closure
We support residents who want to organise street parties for their neighbours during the Coronation celebrations.
Please note that the application fee for a street party has been waived for all Coronation street parties being held from 6 to 8 May 2023.
We have waived the fee to encourage residents and community groups to apply to hold street parties to celebrate the Coronation bank holiday weekend.
Our licensing team is now accepting applications for street parties and community events on any of the days across the three-day weekend.
Oxford residents and community groups are strongly encouraged to submit their application to Oxford City Council no later than Friday 7 April 2023 to guarantee that their event will take place, via email to licensing@oxford.gov.uk.
