To make sure Coronation celebrations in Wandsworth are as inclusive as possible, the council is working with its partner Enable to put hold events in parks, and has funded a range of community events, as well as waiving fees for street parties.   

Battersea Park will be hosting a big screening on Saturday 6 May plus live music and family activities, including a Make Your Own Crown craft workshop. The following day, Sunday 7 May, everyone is invited to take a picnic and join in with the Big Lunch celebrations. There will be live music and special screening of the Coronation Concert.
