"We are inviting people to observe and record any activities or events in their local area, so we can piece together a picture of the country as it commemorates the Coronation of King Charles III. Alongside this national call, Mass Observation will be sending a mobile unit of observers to London specifically to record events as they take place.
To take part, people can observe and record events in their local area over the bank holiday weekend. Their account can be written in any style and include drawings and photographs. They can also record any plans or preparations for the following events, which may include;
6 May Coronation of King Charles III
7 May Coronation Big Lunch, will see parties and community lunches held in streets, gardens, parks and public spaces across the country.
8 May Big Help Out, intended to create a lasting legacy of the coronation weekend with people encouraged to spend a day volunteering in their communities.
These accounts will inform research and teaching activities and be kept alongside Mass Observation’s records of royal events from 1937 onwards and provide an invaluable record of this historic occasion for future generations.
Good Morning Tuesday 21st April 2026
