On Saturday 6th May 2023 the UK celebrates the coronation of King Charles III. To mark the occasion Monday 8th May will be a Bank Holiday across the UK.

Many local communities are arranging activities to celebrate The Coronation together and on Monday 8th May communities will be coming together to take part in The Big Help Out; a national day of volunteering for good causes.
