Coronation of HM Charles III

Saturday 6 May 2023 is the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. To celebrate this historic occasion Trafford Local Studies have created a specially made virtual exhibition highlighting Charles’s visits to the metropolitan borough of Trafford. Through the decades His Majesty's royal visits have championed all that is great about Trafford, with Charles receiving a warm welcome by crowds of well-wishers on each of his visits. The content of this virtual exhibition has been researched, curated and created by both Trafford Local Studies staff and volunteers.

This Coronation themed activity booklet is for all ages, featuring: fun facts, interesting information, spot the difference, word search, design your own royal cypher and more.
