Coronation Weekend

This Saturday, May 6, 2023, will be the coronation of King Charles III which will kick off a weekend filled with many events and celebrations across the UK. The Coronation Service that will take place at Westminster Abbey will begin the festivities followed by The Coronation Procession. On Sunday, a special Coronation Concert will be staged and broadcasted live at Windsor Castle. Communities are also encouraged to share food and fun together for The Coronation Big Lunch. Click here to learn more about the festivities.

Monday is a UK bank holiday, and the royal family is encouraging people to volunteer as part of “The Big Help Out” in tribute to the King’s lifetime of public service. The objective is to encourage volunteerism to bring communities together to create a legacy from the coronation weekend. The BABCPHL is collaborating with the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia and the British Consulate New York on a UK-themed teacher appreciation lunch at Bodine High School for International Affairs. Click here to learn more about “The Big Help Out” initiative.
