Parties, picnics and volunteering drives are among the 39 events that have received a share of more than \u00a328,000 in grant funding from South Gloucestershire Council.<\/p>\n

Community-led celebrations will be held across the district and the country over the bank holiday weekend to mark the Coronation of their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla on Saturday 6 May.<\/p>\n

Traditional street parties will take place as well as afternoon teas and picnics in local parks and village halls, from Page Park to Bitton. The diversity of our communities will be showcased with events run by the South Gloucestershire Chinese Association, with dragon and folk dancing, while the Thornbury Guides group will take part in Coronation Capers.<\/p>\n

A number of organisations, including Southern Brooks and groups in Easter Compton, and Hanham will also be holding volunteer recruitment events as part of The Big Help Out.<\/p>\n

There are also themed events taking place in South Glos libraries and at the council-owned Bristol and Bath Science Park in Emersons Green, where there will be a live screening of the TV coverage of the Coronation on the Saturday. On the Sunday, the big screen will show the Coronation Concert and attendees can take part in The Big Lunch. For more information on this event and to get tickets, which are free, please visit the website: https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/kings-coronation-ceremony-on-the-big-screen-tickets-615515492407<\/a><\/p>\n

A number of requests for road closures, have been approved to help communities who are organising street parties. Any diversions required will be signposted and full details of these and other information on the Coronation can be found on the council website: www.southglos.gov.uk\/coronation<\/a><\/p>\n

South Gloucestershire Council Chief Executive, Dave Perry, congratulated the recipients of the grant awards and said: \u201cCommunities right across South Gloucestershire will be holding events to mark the Coronation in their own way, which I hope will help bring friends and neighbours together.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal people have shown such community spirit in recent years and celebrations like these are a brilliant reminder and illustration of that togetherness which makes the area such a wonderful place to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
