King Charles III Coronation: Victoria Park will be holding a Big Coronation Lunch over the May bank holiday

Portsmouth City Council has decided to host the Big Lunch celebration after last year’s Platinum Jubilee events went so well.

The Big Lunch will take place on May 7 and the time is still to be confirmed but the festivities will be free to get involved in.

There will be live music, entertainment and family activities throughout and families are being encouraged to bring their own picnics and refreshments so they can make the most of the day.
