Use this digital map to find your nearest Coronation street party
People are being encouraged to share how they will celebrate King Charles III's Coronation via an interactive map. From street parties to larger public events, the newly-created map exists to help foster community spirit around the UK.
The clever map shows the approximate locations of events, timings, details about who can attend, and inspiration behind each celebration. Some events are private, while others are open to the public to attend.
As you hover over the map, click the 'more details' button for information about contacting the host. So far, over 65 public events and 52 street parties have been shared. You'll find village parties, Coronation lunches, festivals, virtual concerts, afternoon teas, and much more.
"There will be many events and activities taking place across the UK, Commonwealth and beyond to celebrate the Coronation. Use our interactive map to find what's on near you," says the government's Coronation website. "If you're hosting your own public event, street party or other celebration, submit your event plans to feature on our interactive map."
Events so far include Choir of the Earth's online performance for singing enthusiasts, the Coronation Big Lunch in Hadleigh, and Eastcombe Village's Celebration Lunch Party — a fun get-together open to the public. Head over to the website for many more events, and don't forget to add your own too.
In other news, pubs, bars and clubs will be allowed to stay open for two extra hours, the government has announced.
Culture secretary Lucy Frazer said: "We want everyone up and down the country to have the opportunity to get involved in the coronation of his majesty the king and her majesty the queen consort.
"Our interactive map will help you find activities, events and celebrations nearby. Whether you're hosting a street party, planning a big lunch, a screening or activity for the Big Help Out, we want to hear from you.
"This is a fantastic occasion to come together with friends, family and your local community to mark this historic moment."
