Coronation weekend

---

Join us at RHS Garden Bridgewater over the May Bank Holiday weekend to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. As part of the 'Coronation weekend', we will have live music performances in the garden and are excited to announce that 'The Untold Orchestra' performance will wrap up the festivities on Monday 8 May. 
 
Alongside this, we will prepare the garden for a royal-themed garden party fit for a King with bunting-making workshops on Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning. Come along to the Middlewood event space marquee to create your bunting triangle, inspired by the Coronation, Royal Family or Bridgewater. This bunting will be used to decorate our gardens in royal fashion over the weekend.
