Are YOU organising a right royal knees-up in Brum?

 

There are 40 days before the Coronation of King Charles III and Birmingham is preparing to make it a weekend full of community activity and celebrations.

Centenary Square will be the focal point for the city’s celebrations, where there will be a big screen so people can watch the Coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey, followed by a full programme of entertainment on 6 and 7 May–  more details will be announced nearer the date.

And the party will continue as people across Birmingham are being encouraged to hold their own street party as part of the Big Lunch on 7 May.

Residents will need to apply for a road closure, free of charge, before 21 April 2023 if they wish to use their street or cul-de-sac for a get together with friends and neighbours.

Applications can be made via the council’s website, and further information on what to do and guidelines can also be found at birmingham.gov.uk

The closing date for applications for street party road closures is Friday 21 April 2023.
