A number of streets in Powys will be closed off for street parties during this coronation weekend.

People from across the country have been encouraged to take part in celebrations for the coronation of King Charles III as part of the “Coronation Big Lunch”.

As part of the weekend, it has been possible for residents to apply to have streets closed for party celebrations with Powys County Council waiving the usual administration fee – this means that several roads will be closed for access on the day.

Here is the full list of roads that will be closed:  

  • Welshpool, Broad Sreet, between 12pm and 11pm on Saturday May 6
  • Welshpool, High Street, between 12pm and 11pm on Saturday May 6
  • Guilsfield, between The Oak & The King’s Head, between 12pm and 10:30pm on Saturday May 6

Councillor Jackie Charlton, cabinet member for a Greener Powys, said: "From a cup of tea with a neighbour to a street party, a Coronation Big Lunch brings the celebrations to our neighbourhoods and is a great way for us all to get to know our communities a little better in a nationwide act of celebration and friendship."
