The Patron’s Lunch Public Ballot
The Patron’s Lunch is a celebration of Her Majesty The Queen’s lifetime dedicated to service and patronage of more than 600 organisations across the UK and Commonwealth, on the occasion of The Queen’s 90th birthday.
On Sunday 12th June 2016, The Mall in St James’s Park will be transformed for its largest ever street party with 10,000 guests being treated to a hamper-style lunch on a scale never seen before.
Her Majesty will be joined by the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the Royal Family to celebrate the occasion on The Mall. As well as the hamper lunch, guests will be treated to a fantastic carnival parade down The Mall and along Birdcage Walk – full details of which will soon be announced.
The Patron’s Lunch will be the finale to a National Weekend of Celebration, which includes the Service of Thanksgiving (Friday 10th June), Trooping the Colour (Saturday 11th June) and The Patron’s Lunch (Sunday, 12th June)
In addition to the many Patron’s Organisations who will be represented on The Mall, there will be 2000 tickets available in the Public Ballot allowing members of the public to join The Patron’s Lunch celebrations on The Mall.
The Patron’s Lunch Public Ballot is now closed – successful applicants will be notified by email from mid April 2016.
