Celebrate King’s Coronation in style at Seven Sisters
April 12, 2023
A special screening of the King’s Coronation is taking place at Seven Sisters Country Park next month.
The historic Pump Barn will be open to the public and people will be able to enjoy watching the coronation of King Charles III on a huge screen.
It comes after almost £2m has been invested by the National Park Authority in renovating the facilities, including a refurbished visitor centre with fun displays and activities, a new shop, grab-and-go food outlet and new toilets.
It’s now been almost two years since the National Park Authority took over the running of the country park from East Sussex County Council. A huge amount of work has already been done to help improve the wildlife-rich chalk grassland, including the introduction of cattle as conservation grazers and active management of the landscape by staff and volunteers.
Work is currently under way to create new visitor accommodation on the 280-hectare site using existing buildings.
The coronation event takes place from 11am to 5pm on Saturday 6 May and entry is free.
Peter Cousin, Commercial Manager for the country park, said: “This is a brilliant opportunity to see the coronation and take in one of the UK’s most iconic views all in the same day.
“Whether you want to watch the entire historical event, or just pop in before a walk across the country park, we will be displaying the coronation on our new big screen.
“Alongside the coronation, we’ll be serving locally produced beer, Pimms and a selection of nostalgic confectionery. There will also be a number of activities for young children.”
The country park is well served by buses from Brighton, Seaford and Eastbourne, and from further along the coast. All buses stop at the park entrance. View the timetable for the Coaster 12, 12A and 12X services
