The Celebrations

England 1100 Celebrations

Across the country, people are planning to mark England’s 1100th birthday on 12 July 2027. This will be the place to find what’s happening near you — and to add your own.

What’s being planned

Plans are still taking shape. National campaigns — including the Royal Society of St George’s “Birth of England” project — are encouraging communities to organise their own tributes for 12 July 2027, from bell-ringing to village gatherings. As concrete dates and venues are confirmed, we’ll list them here.

Closer to 2027 we’ll add an interactive map of celebrations across England. For now, sign up and we’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, here’s everything about the day.
