A Right Royal Affair: King Charles Coronation Street Party Ideas

As the coronation of King Charles approaches, it’s time to start planning a street party that will make your neighbourhood feel like a royal court. From decorations to food and activities, there are plenty of ways to celebrate this historic event in style. Get inspired with these creative and fun party ideas that will make your street party fit for royalty.

Decorate with Royal Flair.

To create a regal atmosphere for your King Charles coronation street party, decorate with royal flair. Hang Union Jack flags and bunting along the street, Amazon have a great range, and add touches of gold and silver to your table settings. Use red, white, and blue balloons to create a festive atmosphere, and consider adding a throne or crown prop for guests to take photos with. Don’t forget to add some fresh flowers, such as roses or peonies, to add a touch of elegance to your decorations.

Serve Regal Refreshments.

No coronation street party is complete without some regal refreshments fit for a king! Consider serving traditional British fare such as fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, or bangers and mash. For dessert, serve a classic Victoria sponge cake or scones with clotted cream and jam. Don’t forget to offer a selection of teas and perhaps even a signature cocktail fit for a king, such as a gin and tonic or a Pimm’s cup. Check out the perfect Pimm’s recipe here! Cheers to King Charles!

Play Traditional British Games.

Keep the party going with some traditional British games that will transport your guests back in time. Set up a game of croquet or lawn bowls for some friendly competition. You can also try your hand at a game of skittles or quoits. For the kids, set up a game of pin the crown on the king or queen. These classic games are sure to keep everyone entertained and add to the festive atmosphere of the coronation street party.

Dress Up in Royal Attire.

No coronation street party would be complete without some royal attire! Encourage your guests to dress up in their finest royal-inspired outfits. Think crowns, tiaras, capes, and even sceptres. You can even set up a photo booth area with props like fake moustaches, monocles, and top hats for some fun photo opportunities. At Gift Delivery we have Coronation t-shirts available with the Official Emblem printed on them, these would look great at the party. Don’t forget to award prizes to the best-dressed guests!

Have a Coronation Ceremony.

To truly celebrate King Charles’ coronation, why not have a coronation ceremony of your own? You can create a makeshift throne for the king or queen of the party and have them crowned with a paper crown or tiara. You can even have a mock knighting ceremony for guests who have made significant contributions to the party or community. This will add a fun and regal touch to your street party.
