King Charles Coronation: List of street parties in Portsmouth, Gosport, Havant, Fareham and Waterlooville

Street parties, screenings, fetes, picnics, ceremonies and afternoon teas are being planned in venues and residential areas across Portsmouth and beyond as communities come together for King Charles III’s coronation. In 1953, residents lined the streets to celebrate the Queen’s Coronation and 70 years on, celebrations will be taking place for her son, King Charles III, who ascended the throne following the Queen’s death in September 2022.

The special event will take place on Saturday, May 6, but celebrations will take place over the entire weekend, including the bank holiday on Monday, May 8. Ahead of the coronation, councils across the country opened up applications for residents to apply to host a street party.

Applications closed across the Portsmouth area in March, giving the councils time to review forms before the big day. Now, a number of street parties have been confirmed alongside events including the Big Lunch, which will take place in Portsmouth at Victoria Park on Sunday, May 7.

But which roads across Portsmouth and the surrounding area will hold street parties to celebrate King Charles’ coronation? Here’s everything you need to know.
