23 April 2025

Where: Hampton Court Palace
Time: 10:00 – 18:00

This Jubilee all-dayer takes place at the favoured residence of King Henry VIII. In the style of a vintage 1950s garden party, it’s time to nibble scones and sip champagne, then you can jive to a live brass band and look back to the eras where both queens Elizabeth I and II reigns began.

BIG JUBILEE LUNCH

Where: In your neighbourhood and all over the UK
Time: Lunch time

Millions are expected to celebrate the Jubilee by taking part in street parties and community events across the country for the fourth annual Big Lunch.

The beauty of The Big Lunch is that people themselves decide everything about their own event. The venue can be wherever you want or have space, the theme is whatever you fancy – we suggest (ahem) ‘Royal’ – with  food and people the key ingredients. Local councils have received almost 9,500 road closure applications for Jubilee street parties.

See www.thebiglunch.com and check out your borough council’s website for locations.

Jubilee_River_Thames_PageantJUBILEE RIVER THAMES PAGEANT

Where: Battersea Bridge to Tower Bridge, along the River Thames
Time: 14:00-18:00 (approx)

At high water in the afternoon, a flotilla of 1,000 boats, including Australian lifesavers, will gather on the Thames in London for the main event – The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee River Pageant.

The nautical procession formerly starts at Battersea Bridge near Chelsea, however boats will be assembling earlier near Hammersmith. The fleet complete their voyage at Tower Bridge by the Tower of London, where there will be a gun salute. Britannia rules the waves!

Viewing areas will be open from 8:00 and space will be limited. See an interactive map of the best viewing locations at:
