ark s Street Party grants for King’s Coronation

Residents will be able to apply for street party grants from Erewash Borough Council to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty The King.

The Coronation of King Charles III, takes place on Saturday 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey in London. During the ceremony, the King will be crowned alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort.

The council is expected to give the go ahead to a Street Party Grants scheme. This would see a total of £7,500 awarded to residents in the borough who plan on holding a street party and need funds to help stage it. The street party grants can be used to pay for bunting and other party items, excluding alcohol.

Street parties are just one of the ways in which communities will be brought together over the special Bank Holiday Coronation weekend.
