Glastonbury Town Council has announced plans to hold a community street party and Big Lunch on Sunday 7 May 2023 in honour of the coronation of King Charles.

The event will take place in the High Street.

The coronation of King Charles is a momentous occasion, and Glastonbury Town Council wants to make sure that the community is part of the celebration.

Everyone is welcome to come along and join in the festivities.

In addition to the street party, there will be a Community Celebration of Volunteers in Glastonbury Abbey during their Summer Open Day on 8 May. This will be an opportunity to recognise and thank all the volunteers who work tirelessly to make Glastonbury a better place to live.

The Glastonbury Town Council is encouraging everyone to get involved in the celebration of the coronation of King Charles. They believe that events like these bring the community together and strengthen the bond between neighbours.
