Street parties are a perfect way to bring people from different backgrounds together and add some fun to your community. Planning a street party needs a lot of attention to detail to ensure that you cover all the bases. Its often a great way to bring the community together.
Here are some necessary steps to follow when creating a street party for the Kings Coronation that will make your event a massive success:
1. Get Permission!
Before you start any planning make sure that you have permission of the council. Street Parties mean that you will need to close off the street to cars and other traffic. Around the Kings Coronation the local authority will have many communities applying for permission so plan early!
2. Draft in Helpers
Planning a street party takes time. We suggest setting up a small team of willing volunteers to help with planning. Give each person a particular area to look after - permissions, entertainment, logistics, food & drink, clean up!
3. Plan your activities
There are loads of ideas around what activities that you can do for your street party entertainment. We have a whole website full of exciting games and inflatables available to hire. Aside from these there are many free activities that are really good fun such as football tournament (just watch parked cars!), parents vs child challenges etc…
4. Advertise to everyone!
There is no point planning a party for the community if nobody knows about it. Make sure that you use social media such as Facebook, Local groups, posters etc to advertise that it is happening.
Planning a street party can be a challenging task, but with the right marketing and advertising strategies, you can make it a massive success. Drafting in good helpers, and getting commitment will make your life much easier.
It takes commitment, creativity, and a willingness to take risks to throw a fantastic and memorable street party.
