Get involved

With the Platinum Jubilee year well and truly underway, here are some of the many ways you can get involved in celebrating The Queen’s milestone year

Find out what’s happening near you

Search the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport’s interactive map to find out what’s planned in your area. There are already over a thousand local events planned across the UK which are open to anyone who wants to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with their community.

Plant a tree for the Jubilee

With the tree planting season now over until October, it's the perfect time to plan your contribution to The Queen’s Green Canopy initiative. Whether you’re an individual hoping to plant a single sapling in your garden, a scout group planting a large tree or a City Council intending to plant a whole avenue of trees to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, all of the information you need can be found at: queensgreencanopy.org

Attend a Platinum Jubilee exhibition

Three special displays marking significant occasions in Her Majesty’s reign – the Accession, the Coronation and Jubilees – will be staged at the official royal residences from July 2022.

At the Summer Opening of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, portraits of The Queen taken by photographer Dorothy Wilding between 1952 and 1956 will be on display, alongside items of Her Majesty’s personal jewellery worn for the sittings.  At Windsor Castle, the Coronation Dress and Robe of Estate worn by The Queen for her Coronation at Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953 will be on display, while at the Palace of Holyroodhouse, visitors will see outfits worn by Her Majesty on occasions to celebrate the Silver, Golden and Diamond Jubilees.

Visit Superbloom at the Tower of London

The moat at the Tower of London has been sown with over 20 million seeds which will erupt into bloom at the beginning of June, just in time for the main Jubilee Weekend! This initiative to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee marks the first stage of installing a natural landscape in the heart of the City of London. You can visit from 1 June – 18 September. Visit the Tower of London website for further information.
