Thousands of residents are being invited to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III with a party in the park in Desborough Recreation Ground on Sunday 7 May 2023. Six hours of music, food, and entertainment will kick off at 11am.
Music, which will include local bands, musicians, and singers, will be compered from the sound stage. There will be a selection of food stalls, ice cream, refreshments, crafts, and rides for children, and we will have the popular hog roast and a Prosecco bar.
The free-to-enter event is being organised by Desborough Town Council with the kind support of the carnival committee. Local businesses and retailers are sponsoring many of the attractions.
Council Chair Cllr Helen Wood said:
“We want people to come out to the recreation ground to relax and have fun. It will be an informal gathering where people can enjoy themselves.
“I am delighted Desborough Town Council is organising an event to mark this historic occasion.”
Council events committee chair Cllr Jim French said: “We expect thousands of mums, dads, and children to attend. We hope there will be something for everyone on the day.
“I would like to thank the organisations and businesses that have pledged to support the day.
“We have a small band of volunteers who have put a great deal of thought into how the party will be delivered.”
