Pubs to be at the heart of Coronation celebrations
Pubs and breweries across the UK are preparing to mark the historic occasion.
Ahead of the Coronation of King Charles III, pubs and breweries across the UK are preparing to mark the historic occasion.
As businesses at the heart of neighbourhoods and communities, pubs are set to host special events and make the most of extended opening hours across the Bank Holiday weekend.
The British Beer & Pub Association says there is expected to be a £120m boost for pubs across the weekend, with 62m pints set to be poured (17m more than usual).
Publicans are planning celebrations with everything from viewing parties and afternoon teas to barbecues and royal drag performances.
"We have so much going on over the Coronation weekend," says Ben Rosson, who runs The Golden Cock in Huddersfield. "It’s the first time we’ve hosted an afternoon tea, so it would be great to see a range of people getting involved and hopefully getting new customers into the pub too.
"We have a raffle draw on the Sunday, a street party and live music. It’s always good for everyone to be able to get out now and enjoy themselves, especially after Covid, and the Coronation is a great chance for people to get out and celebrate. What better place to do so than the pub?"
