Royal Garden Party Form

Nominating a Person from Bedfordshire to be considered for recommendation to attend a Royal Garden Party
Please note that the person nominated must NOT have attended a Royal Garden Party before, must reside in Bedfordshire and must not be made aware of their nomination.

Royal Garden Parties provide an opportunity to recognise individuals who have given exceptional service to their community, voluntary organisations, charitable causes, or public life, often over many years. The strongest nominations are typically for people who have made a significant difference to the lives of others through sustained commitment and service beyond what might ordinarily be expected of them.

A Garden Party invitation is not generally intended as recognition for someone simply carrying out their paid employment, however well they may do so. Rather, it seeks to acknowledge those whose dedication, leadership, selflessness and positive impact deserve wider recognition.

Please note that completion and submission of this form does not guarantee the success of this nomination. Each year more nominations are received than the places allocated to Bedfordshire.

All nominations received during the year are considered by a Lieutenancy Panel in the spring for possible recommendation for attending the Royal Garden Parties the following year. The Garden Parties are normally held at Buckingham Palace in May. The closing date for each years places is 31 December.

If successful the person nominated will be contacted in writing about their nomination from the Bedfordshire Lieutenancy Office. If they accept the nomination and have not attended a Royal Garden Party before they will be recommended to Buckingham Palace for consideration. If their nomination is accepted they will be able to be accompanied by their spouse, partner or guest. Tickets and further details will be sent to their home address directly from the Royal Garden Party Office. No further contact will come from the Lieutenancy Office.

No discussion or correspondence will be entered into about unsuccessful nominations.
