Royal Warrants are a mark of recognition for a British PLC that has supplied goods and services for at least five years to the Queen, Duke of Edinburgh or the Prince of Wales. The exhibitor showcase will be divided into four sectors: Design and Technology, Food and Drink, Style Pursuits and Pastimes, and Homes and Gardens. Stands will range from 3 x 3m shell schemes through to huge bespoke presences and will cover a broad selection of the 800 companies holding Royal Warrants today. These include small British firms through to global brands and its three evening event partners Bentley, GlaxoSmithKline and Jaguar Land Rover. Alongside Royal Warrant holders, the exhibition will showcase talent nurtured by the association’s charitable arm, the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust. Royal Warrant holders are being charged to exhibit and have the choice of how they choose to dress their stands. A restaurant and café will also be built onsite, and visitors will be able to buy a hamper and picnic on the lawn. In a press briefing at Buckingham Palace, secretary of the Royal Warrant Holders Association Richard Peck said the Coronation Festival will be a shining example of the best of British craftsmanship based around its key themes: Trade and industry, innovation and excellence. It is the first time an event of this kind has been run in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
