Hi all. Does anyone have a rough idea as to when the next ceremony will take place?
My wife is hoping to get accepted to the next one (still awaiting Approval letter/email), but we will be out of the country from the 27th May - 7th June and are hoping it does not clash with these dates.
Do they usually inform attendees a month or 2 in advance, or is closer to a week or 2 in advance?
Ceremonies are announced on this website:

No-one has any information on when next one is scheduled except through this website. Obviously they are still referencing the Feb ceremony, so no news on next ones.
Some people reference last years’ schedule as a hint to future plans but you can never tell if they’ll stick with the same. The ‘23 Dec and ‘24 Feb didn’t align with previous years, so I’m not sure looking backwards helps.
Though if it helps plan- if she hasn’t got an approval letter yet, chances of her being invited to next one are slim. There is an enormous backlog of historic approvals who haven’t been invited to a ceremony yet. All that said- very little of what they do is predictable, so who knows? It’s such a (painful and irritating) black box.
Those without an historic approval who do get invited are often given a week to 48 hours notice, as they are tending to back-fill declined spaces.
