Valley Gardens in Harrogate is set to host a three-day celebration event for the coronation of King Charles III.

The free event will take place from Saturday, May 6, until Monday, May 8.

It will include live stream of the coronation ceremony on a big screen from Westminster Abbey.

"Valley Gardens provides the perfect backdrop for our three-day event to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III.
"There will be rides, family entertainment throughout the weekend, pop-up character appearances and circus workshops. There truly is something for everyone and even better, it’s all free.
"So pack a picnic and come on down to Valley Gardens to mark the coronation.”
