CROWDS are expected to gather for community events on Sunday (May 7) to celebrate King Charles III’s Coronation.
Celebrations, including music and other entertainment, will take place in the afternoon on Sunday, May 7 with a Picnic in Bankes Park, Billinge.
The event, which is open to all, is set to include children’s games and entertainment, a disco, DJ, food and drink, and various stalls.
It runs from 1pm to 6pm, with families and friends invited to take along a picnic.
Meanwhile, celebrations will also take place in Newton-le-Willows on Sunday.
A Walking Day, organised by Newton and Earlestown Community Group alongside The High Street Hive, will see community groups and organisations take part in the parade along Newton High Street before attendees make their way down to Willow Park.
The high street is red, white, and blue ahead of the celebration.
A brass and samba band will perform at the event, with a petting zoo and scarecrow competition among the activities at the event.
The event begins at 11am with the brass and samba bands performing from noon.
