HUNGERFORD ARCADE – LONG LIVE THE KING!

Hungerford Arcade has Coronation fever!  We are pulling out all the stops to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla this coming Saturday 6th May 2023.

 

Jane Elliman of unit 12, who is a very talented artist, has produced a wonderful display for our window. We have bunting galore and several stall holders have decorated their units.   Martin Smith of Countryside Books has very kindly lent us this historic God Save the King flag from the Coronation of the King’s grandfather, George VI.

 

 

 

 


It is well worth a visit to see the window display.  There are vintage tins, crowns and other memorabilia from previous coronations as well as Jane’s original artwork in homage to the King.

 

 

 

 

Jane has had the inspired idea of covering plant supports in the shape of crowns with tinsel.  We have a particularly spectacular example opposite the front door.  These will be for sale, as usual when the festivities are over.

We are open with our usual hours throughout the weekend.  Do come and visit as the Arcade is looking amazing.
