Street Party for Coronation of King Charles III

Charles III became King immediately upon the death of his mother, Elizabeth II, on 8 September 2022.  The coronation of Charles III and his wife, Camilla, as King and Queen Consort of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms is set to take place on Saturday, 6 May 2023 at Westminster Abbey.  A variety of ceremonial, celebratory and community events will take place over the Coronation Weekend between Saturday 6 and Monday 8 May 2023.

Headway North Cumbria will hold our own celebration in the form of a street party which will be held in the main hall of the New Waterton Hall.  So as not to clash with other events over the Coronation Weekend we will hold our street party a week later – on Monday 15 May 2023.  We will meet from 1pm and hold our street party between 1:30pm and 3:30pm.  The format will be similar to that of the Platinum Jubilee Street Party we held on 6 June 2022 and will be free for our members to attend.

In order to ensure that we do not under-cater or over-cater for the event it would be great to have an early understanding of how many members might be attending.  Those members that would like to participate are invited to let the Secretary know as soon as possible.

In the spirit of street parties across the country, and in order to keep costs down, we are looking to our volunteers and members to bring food to share with others.  This is not obligatory, but if you do wish to contribute something to the party please let the Secretary know that you will be doing so, and give an idea of what it is that you would like to provide.  This will help ensure that we match what is being offered to the number of people that we expect to attend.
