This bank holiday weekend, we will be raising a glass for his majesty the King. This will be a major event for the UK and will be watched by millions of people around the world. This day is a chance for us to come together and celebrate the new king and his reign.
To help you decide what to do this weekend if you haven't done so yet, we wanted to share with you some things you can do to celebrate this occasion.
Is your name Charles, Camilla or do you have the surname King?
Or maybe you know someone that does!

ABode Canterbury is having a Coronation Champagne Afternoon Tea on Saturday from 1 pm to 5 pm. Why not join them for an afternoon tea fit for a King with coronation chicken sandwiches, sumptuous cakes, scones, tea and a glass of Champagne to celebrate the day?

Are you coming to Kent for the Weekend?
Head over to Bloom Stays to grab your accommodation and then take a look at some of their recommendations for how to spend your weekend while you're here. Here are just a few that they suggest:
If you want to stay close to Canterbury, you can watch the Coronation ceremony live within Canterbury Cathedral's magnificent Gothic Nave. Or if you want to soak up the sun, you could head to Leeds Castle for a coronation garden party to play some classic garden games to challenge your friends and family.
If you prefer a little bit more adventure, why not go on a treasure hunt at Riverhill Himalayan Gardens. They change out the hiding places each week so you can go again and again and still have a great time.
