Map shows where you can find your nearest big screen to watch the coronation
Big screens dotted around the UK will bring the spectacle of the first British coronation in seven decades to the streets.
In March, it was revealed that the government had set aside £1,000,000 for the massive televisions, though it is unclear how much has actually been spent on them.
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said: ‘These big screens, in major locations in towns and cities in the four nations of the UK, will make it easier for everyone to take part and have a memorable experience to mark this exciting and historic event.’
While the locations are spread across the country, some people will have to travel further than others.
There are dozens of screenings taking place in every corner of England, but only two each in Wales and Scotland.
Both of the Welsh locations are in Cardiff – at the capital’s castle and its bay – while the Scottish events will take place at Glasgow Cathedral and Edinburgh’s Ross Bandstand in Princes Street Gardens.
Meanwhile in Northern Ireland, there’s capacity for 15,000 people to watch the ceremony in public across nine locations.
Among the biggest venues screening the ceremony around the country are Liverpool’s newly constructed Eurovision Village, where 16,000 people will be able to watch, and Piece Hall in Halifax, which has room for 13,500.
Some sites will be showing both the coronation on Saturday and Sunday’s concert, while other places will just be showing the ceremony.
