Celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a street party in your people-friendly streets neighbourhood

In 2022, Her Majesty the Queen becomes the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, having ascended the throne on 6 February 1952.

There will be a four day bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2 June to Sunday 5 June 2022. The extended weekend is the perfect opportunity to celebrate with a street party in your people-friendly streets neighbourhood.

The council is encouraging residents to allow lots of planning time and complete a street party application form as soon as possible.

You can find helpful information on how to organise a street party and the street party application form on the council website .

As part of Islington Council’s celebrations of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee the council are providing £20,000 to support events in the borough that bring residents together and enable them to enjoy and celebrate this historic milestone. Grants of up to £600 are available for community organisations or resident groups to apply for.   

To find out more about this funding and to obtain a grant application form please email partnerships@islington.gov.uk. The closing date for grant applications is Sunday 10 April (11.59pm). The council will give its decision to grant applicants by the end of April.
