Big screens in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole for Coronation
People in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole will be able to enjoy the Coronation events in the company of others as big screens are being installed in the conurbation.
The screens will be located in the Lower Gardens in Bournemouth, The Quomps in Christchurch and Baiter Park, Poole.
The bank holiday weekend of 6-8 May will be a momentous occasion marking King Charles III’s accession to the throne.
On Saturday 6 May, the official Coronation Service at Westminster Abbey will be streamed live through the screens, with residents encouraged to bring chairs and a picnic and watch as the new King is crowned.
On Sunday 7 May, residents can bring a picnic to one of the three locations as part of the Coronation Big Lunch in a nationwide act of celebration and friendship, then later, enjoy the music on the big screens, which will be showing the special Coronation Concert that’s taking place at Windsor Castle.
The screens are being funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport who have invested more than £1 million for these screens to show the Coronation event nationwide. Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer announced the screening locations last week.
The Charter Trustees for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole are currently working on more local events in their respective towns, with details being announced soon.
