Whitby to host Picnic in the Park event to mark Coronation of King Charles III

The coronation of King Charles III in Whitby is being marked with a special Lunch in the Park event.

Whitby Town Council with the Friends of Pannett Park are hosting the event on Sunday May 7, from 11am to 3pm, which aims to be a happy family event, very similar to last year’s Picnic in the Park to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

People wishing to attend the picnic should bring their own packed lunch.

There will be various family activities on site such as Splat the Rat, treasure hunt, crafts etc.
