Event: Coronation Street Party

[Elise]

This weekend marks the Coronation of King Charles III which means a celebration across the country (and beyond)
Drayton Manor are celebrating this weekend with their very own Coronation Street Party event featuring live music (DJ's and Tribute acts), late night riding, other entertainment and of course a firework spectacular!

The timings for this event are as follows:

Tickets are still available for all three days however there are some days with limited availability - book quick to avoid disappointment!

Will you be joining Rory and friends to celebrate?
I'll be heading down this evening to take a look at what this royal celebration has to offer!

Heading this evening, as queen fan, plus going on sunday for the park. Great to see some different events this year. Looking forward to future events.

I’m going on Sunday but reading social media posts they really upset guests with this event.
Like many families have brought evening tickets for tonight weeks ago and they only announced that Thomas land rides will close at half 5 this week and with all other rides closing at 8 it’s a long wait just to wait for fireworks

We did think the closing of the rides at 8 (and tribute act finishing at 8) with fireworks at 9 was an unusual decision tonight but there was a great atmosphere with the DJ and stuff. We felt it worked out though

Still plenty to experience and enjoy

This evening's event was quite enjoyable! We enjoyed the entertainment the park had on offer with these lovely ladies performing earlier before moving on to the wonderful Lukeasfreddie (Freddy Mercury tribute) who was great! You could even meet him after which was lovely.

Between the tribute act and the fireworks there was an hour wait where a DJ took to the stage. It was a great atmosphere and the perfect time to get your food and drinks in before the big showtime!

I wouldn’t have a problem waiting and listening to the music but my daughter will get bored and then trying to keep my son awake.
Was it packed tonight?

It was quite quiet tonight but it's expected to be the quietest of all three nights based on the parks post the other day
Friday after school and work wouldn't be as busy as the main weekend

Anyone been today

 

[Monkeynips]

Went today, very good event was not busy surprisingly. Did feel busier in the evening, dont know if this is from Thomas land shutting or evening tickets being sold. Overall really good day/night.

word of warning The DJ loves a smoke machine between 8-9! really good atmosphere while waiting for the fireworks. Drayton really pulling the events off

 

[Paul]

The fireworks were really good. Well themed and good music really enjoyed them. Park was busy today too so hopefully we'll see more events on this kind of level. Good job Drayton!
