Hold a Coronation event in a park or estate
Guidance about how to apply to hold an event in a park or an estate for the Coronation.
We want to support activities which bring residents together to celebrate the King’s Coronation. Individuals and community groups can organise an event in a local park or estate during the Bank Holiday weekend.
Before you apply
Types of park events you can hold
Use this application form if you plan to have an event in a park without:
- less than 50 people attending
- amplified music
- professional caterers
- temporary structures (e.g. bouncy castles, gazebos, tent)
- gas-fired barbecues.
If your park event will feature any of these, you must complete a different application form.

Advice for planning your event
Islington Council would like to see gatherings take place across the borough. View information about parks in Islington.
If your organisation’s employees are being paid to support the running of the event please ensure they are paid an hourly wage (or equivalent of an hourly wage) no less than the London Living Wage.
If you need volunteers, contact the Islington Volunteer Centre.
We recommend completing a risk assessment though this is not required. View a risk assessment template and guidance.
Any items or equipment brought into the park or estate should be removed afterwards. Rubbish should be taken home or left in the bins.
