The King’s Coronation will see millions of people across the UK and Commonwealth celebrate this historic event.
Nottinghamshire County Council is planning events to support the coronation and will discuss the recommendations at its Cabinet meeting on 9 March, 2023.
The National Coronation Programme will include the procession and service at Westminster Abbey on 6 May, the ‘Coronation Big Lunch’ across the country on 7 May (with a concert taking place in Windsor in the evening), and ‘The Big Help Out’ community activity on the bank holiday, Monday 8 May, which will encourage people to try volunteering and join work being undertaken to support their local community.
Partners across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire including The Lord-Lieutenant, Local Authorities, Universities, Emergency Services and the Voluntary Sector, are working together to help plan and coordinate local activities and events that will take place over the Coronation weekend across the City and County.
Nottinghamshire County Council, working with the Lord-Lieutenant, will lead and support a number of key initiatives taking place across Nottinghamshire including:
• A veterans breakfast and provision of a big screen which will show the Coronation at Thorseby Courtyard on Saturday 6 May 2023.
• A King’s Coronation Service at Southwell Minster on Sunday 7 May 2023, with 600 attendees including Civic Heads, uniformed groups, community, charity and voluntary sector representatives.
• Facilitation of road closures for Nottinghamshire communities wishing to host street parties and The Big Lunch activity across the weekend.
• A media and communications campaign to help coordinate and promote Coronation activity across the City and County, working with our partners in the City, District and Parish Councils.
