King Charles III’s coronation will be screened live at Clacton’s Princes Theatre.
The free event will start from 10am on Saturday, 6 May, and allow people to watch the historic occasion on the big screen, and with friends and family.
Though free to attend, tickets must be booked to help the Station Road venue manage numbers coming along.
Lee Heley, Director of Place and Economy at Tendring District Council – which runs the Princes Theatre – said it was hoped the screening would bring people together.
“At the last coronation whole streets gathered around TV sets to watch the historic and ceremonial event unfold on screen for the first time,” Mr Heley said.
“While technology has advanced so much since then, and people can watch the coronation on their smartphones, we hope that by staging a screening in the Princes Theatre people can still come together and share that sense of community as King Charles III is crowned.
“So why not make it an occasion, book seats for your friends and family, and come as a group to share this key event from our lifetimes together with others from the Tendring community?”
