Climate activists are expected to march en masse down The Long Walk, the two-mile-long avenue leading up to the castle, on Friday 30 August, in an occupation dubbed “Upgrade Democracy”.
The plan, which police say they are aware of but the council insists does not have permission, will see activists create a diversion using the red-robed troupe of performers who are often seen at their demos, which would then allow members of the group to break into the castle grounds.
A Zoom meeting recording was posted online in which they detailed their plans. In it, the group discuss how a camp will be set up just below the castle walls with permission granted by the police and council.
Thames Valley Police told The Independent it was aware of the planned occupation but added that it would not “tolerate criminal behaviour”. However, a council spokesperson insisted the group does not have permission.
The group hope the publicity from storming the castle will help boost their profile and enhance their demands for a citizens’ assembly to be established to tackle the climate crisis.

Golden boots shine bright for Kane on winning night
He wore golden boots. And he has won them too of course. Three as the Premier League's top scorer, one for outscoring everyone else in a World Cup. It was a fitting way to mark Harry Kane's century of caps, though. Not the most fitting: that came after the presentations. England 2-0 Finland was Kane 2-0 Finland, a golden night for the golden boots.

Kane scores twice as he celebrates his 100th cap
As much as this match rightfully became about Harry Kane, there was something else it resembled as Lee Carsley’s England fluidly worked the ball to the centurion for his 67th and 68th international goals. It was like one of the top Premier League teams patiently moving a Championship side around until the gaps presented themselves.
