The excitement is building for a spectacular Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla on May the 6th.

Just as it was 70 years ago, there’s street parties, home parties and thousands of informal events being planned up and down the country and around the world, and with a special Bank Holiday added to the Coronation weekend, it’s the perfect time to get together with family and friends, and Newnham Court Shopping Village can help you with the preparations for your event.

There’s a wide selection of Coronation-themed gifts on display at Notcutts Gift Shop including books, soft toys, jigsaws and much more. Plus Notcutts has a super range of barbecues and associated tools if you’re cooking outside. Now could be just the right time to update your setup in time for the celebration weekend!

Whether you’re planning a get-together on Coronation day itself or perhaps to coincide with the Coronation Big Lunch on the Sunday, you’ll need some food to cook, so pop in to the Butcher of Brogdale who has a special ‘Brogdale Coronation BBQ Pack’ on offer, including 1kg of ribs, lamb chops, BBQ chicken legs, sausages and 6 steak burgers - all for £25! Hurry, this offer is only available while stocks last. The Butcher is also very happy to cut meat into suitable portion sizes too.

With a wide variety of shops and outlets for you, there’s everything you need to make yourself feel special too. How about a new spring outfit from Edinburgh Woollen Mill or Klass? Finish that party look with a new pair of shoes from Pavers. They have a huge selection and are always happy to help you to find the perfect pair.

Perhaps a pamper session at Pure Beauty could be just what’s needed! Choose from a wide range of treatments to get you looking and feeling amazing. Complete your pamper sesh with a new hair do from the team at Pure Hairdressing!

The main Shopping Village will be open as normal over the weekend and on Bank Holiday Monday but please check with individual shops and outlets to confirm opening times before you travel, to avoid disappointment.

Whatever you’re doing to celebrate, we hope you have a fantastic time and see you all very soon.
