Join us in Durham City with Events Commemorating the Coronation of His Majesty, King Charles III
There is so much happening to celebrate this momentous occasion so here is a quick snap shot
Thursday 4th May – Sold Out
Afternoon Tea with Dancing
Come and celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty, King
Charles III, in Durham Town Hall with an afternoon tea
and dancing.
Everyone is welcome, from beginners to more experienced dancers.
The Tea Dance will be followed by a Coronation Afternoon Tea;
created and served by the highly acclaimed students of New College Durham.
Friday 5th May
SPARK music event
Come and enjoy live LED drummers with all the family as part of a music event in Millennium Place to kickstart the weekend of City celebrations.
There will be two performances – 6:30pm-7pm and 8pm-8:30pm.
Spark! is a medium-scale street theatre show performed that combines high-impact drumming, dynamic choreography and beautiful lighting.
The performance combines static set-pieces, movement and audience interaction.
The performers constantly shift the focal point of the show and sometimes surround the audience completely so they feel immersed in the drama which unfolds.
The show gradually builds in intensity culminating in a huge climax of light, sound, smoke and movement. It is not to be missed!
