King Charles' Coronation: 16 roads in Preston that will be closed for street parties this weekend

In total, 16 roads across the city will be closed as residents celebrate the new monarch.

Any communities wanting to close a road to traffic in order to host a street party had to apply to Preston City Council for permission. At first only 9 were announced, but the list has been added to.

And the Mayor of Preston, Councillor Neil Darby, has been invited to six of them to judge which is the best.

Below are all the offical street parties taking place across the city.

Avenham Park celebrations

As well as street parties, there will also be a celebration in Preston's Avenham Park on Sunday, May 7.

Among the highlights of the day will be performances from the Leyland Brass Band, One Voice Community Choir, Preston City Mela, Caribbean Carnival, and singer Hattie Bee.

Those looking for thrills can enjoy the fairground rides, while others can browse the stalls from Preston Markets, Cash For Kids, and the Intact Centre.

For those looking to get involved, there will be activities such as designing your own crown, with a stage competition judged by the Mayor.
