Royal Events

Every year the New Zealand High Commission is allocated a limited number of tickets for New Zealand citizens to attend Royal Events in the United Kingdom.

The events are:

  • Colonel's Review
  • Trooping the Colour
  • Royal Ascot
  • Royal Garden Parties.

Dates for this year's Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace have been announced. The Parties will take place on Wednesday 29 June, Tuesday 12 July and Tuesday 19 July. Due to the limited number of tickets available, the High Commission runs a ballot. This year's ballot has now closed. Please note, you may only attend a Royal Garden Party once. If you have already attended a Garden Party please do not apply.
