With the Coronation of His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort quickly approaching, there is still time for members of the public to get plans in place.

Over the extended Bank Holiday Weekend in May, a variety of events will be happening across the country, so why not get involved?

The Coronation itself takes place on Saturday, 6 May, and residents are encouraged to take part in the Coronation Big Lunch on the Sunday.

This is when most street parties will be happening up and down the country. To host your own street party, you will need to apply for a road closure. This must be done before Friday, 14 April in order for it to be cleared in time.

If your event is selling alcohol, providing entertainment or serving hot food or drinks between 11pm and 5am, you may need to apply for a temporary event notice.

You can apply for a road closure and an event notice at www.swindon.gov.uk/kingscoronation

On Monday, 8 May, everyone will be encouraged to take part in The Big Help Out, a chance to try out volunteering and learn more about the valuable work being undertaken in local areas. Further information about all events can be found at www.coronation.gov.uk
