King Street to Host Party for the King


Coronation celebrations taking place in centre of Hammersmith


Live music performances will be held on the day

April 21, 2023

A day of fun to mark the Coronation of King Charles III is being planned on the appropriately named King Street.

On Saturday 6 May there will be a series of free events organised by Hammersmith BID along with the council including a Coronation Trail.

Working with charity Starlight and with prizes to win, all participants will receive a Union Jack flag to help them join in the day’s festivities once they’ve completed the trail.

Face painting will also be on offer, with donations going to Starlight, and holders of the BID’s free Privilege Card will be able to enjoy a soft drink at lunchtime.

From 11am to 5pm, families can pick up a trail guide at the Hammersmith BID stall outside H&M. From there, they’ll need to track down all ten letters located in shops around Hammersmith to make up the royal phrase.

When completed, the flyer can be handed back to the Hammersmith BID stall in exchange for a prize while stocks last.

Participants can also choose to enter a raffle for the chance to win a National Geographic Telescope and Microscope set courtesy of Starlight, a £100 Turtle Bay voucher or a bundle of Starlight goodies.

King Street will be closed to traffic, a big screen on Lyric Square will be showing the Coronation live and there will be musical entertainment throughout the day.

Hammersmith-based Starlight is the national charity for children’s play in healthcare. Starlight helps support children to experience the power of play to boost their wellbeing and resilience during treatment, care and recovery from illness.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.
