A round-up of the Coronation celebrations taking place in our local communities…
Culverden
Celebrations for the Coronation will be kicking off early on King Charles Square in Culverden at a community event run by The Wells Free School and Cripps.
On Friday May 5, children and staff from The Wells Free School will be hosting local residents at an afternoon tea to celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. As well as the afternoon tea, supplied by Cripps, guests will be entertained with traditional games and music.
At the end of the afternoon, a tree in a specially decorated planter will be commemorated, and guests will be invited to join in a chorus of the National Anthem.
Liz Carter, Purpose and Impact Manager at Cripps, said: “Cripps feels very much part of the community and we are looking forward to partnering with The Wells Free School for this event. A coronation is a rare occurrence, and it’s a pleasure to be celebrating this momentous occasion with The Wells Free School, and with our neighbours around King Charles Square.”
