Organised by a voluntary group, the Coronation celebrations in Fleet on Sunday 7th May will include:
From 2pm on Fleet Road the celebrations start with 100 Classic Cars and Supercars followed by a huge Coronation Parade.
From midday on the Basingstoke canal by the Fox & Hounds Pub, there will be a boat rally plus paddle boarding and raft building as well as live music and a BBQ!
From 2pm in Calthorpe Park enjoy
– A short welcome ceremony by the Deputy Lieutenant of Hampshire and 3-cheers for His Majesty.
– Admire the Classic & Supercars and vote for your favourite!
– Music entertainment on the live stage
– Entertainers including face painters, balloon modelling and stiltwalkers
– Over 30 stalls selling a range of hot & cold food and drink, plus a Beer Bus, a Pimms Tent, a Gin Fest and lots more to keep you ready to party!
– TWO giant assault courses
– The Scouts will be letting you try out Archery, “Tomahawk Throwing”, air rifle shooting and fire-lighting
– Try something new with Everyone Active
– Hurricane Boxing display and taster sessions
– Dog show
– Children’s competitions include hidden rocks and a treasure hunt
– Many of our wonderful local voluntary organisations and groups will be in the park to show you their incredible work and lots of them will be bringing along fun things for you, and the family, to do. We would love the legacy of the Fleet Coronation Celebrations to be many new volunteer hours committed so maybe think of starting your volunteering journey on the 7th May?
– The whole day will round off with a brilliant firework display at dusk
Be aware that mobile signal isn’t brilliant in Calthorpe Park so, to avoid disappointment, do bring some cash with you just in case the system goes down! We would hate you to be hungry and thirsty! If you would prefer to bring along a picnic and settle down, that’s absolutely fine – but you may find yourself tempted!
