Lambeth residents are marking the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla on 6 May, 7 May and 8 May 2023 with dozens of Coronation Big Lunch street parties.

The Mayor of Lambeth, the Council Leader and the Representative Deputy Lieutenant for Lambeth are aiming to join as many of them as possible.

Brixton Chamber Orchestra will be creating a unique Coronation carnival, with a seven piece mobile band, singers, dancers, costumes and items from Brixton’s not for profit artists group, the Bureau of Silly Ideas. The carnival will visit street parties and estates all weekend, whilst parading around Brixton, Streatham and Tulse Hill. Expect a mash-up of cultures – in true Lambeth spirit.

In total, 43 street parties have been arranged in Lambeth to mark the Coronation across the weekend which features an extra one off Bank Holiday on Monday, May 8 as part of the national celebrations.

Lambeth Council is to hold a follow-up Volunteering Fair to support The Big Help Out which is launching on 8 May as part of the King’s Coronation. It is an initiative to celebrate the people who are already volunteering, and encourage those who want to get started, to make a difference in their communities.
