Horsham is set to host a weekend of festivities in honour of the King's Coronation, and Piries Place is excited to announce their street party on Sunday 7th May. The event promises to be a day filled with fun, entertainment, and community spirit.

Piries Place, along with local businesses and the community, will come together for live performances, featuring a variety of acts, including the Magog Morris Dancers, Root & Branch Theatre, Big Notes Choir, and Roaming Palace Guards. The market stalls will offer something for everyone, with coronation-themed cocktail and mocktail making at M Bar and art-K Horsham's crown and flag-making activity. The Red Deer, a local pub, will be doing special coronation food tasters, and Bodyset will be giving free massages on the day.

Piries Place will be decorated with coronation bunting and lamppost emblems, and local businesses will dress and decorate their storefronts with bright, bold, and colourful royal designs, props, flags, bunting, and artwork. All businesses will be competing to win the online competition for "best dressed window/display," voted for by the general public on social media.

"We are thrilled to bring the community together to celebrate this historic event," said a spokesperson from Piries Place. "We have worked hard to create a fun, safe, and inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy. We can't wait to see everyone there."
