Touchwood Solihull will be dressed to impress in time for King Charles III 's Coronation on Saturday 6 May, with a host of activities and live entertainment for families to enjoy.

The centre 's union jack umbrella walkway is now open for visitors to marvel at, with 60 umbrellas suspended over Mill Lane Arcade.

Over the bank holiday weekend, visitors can expect to be blown away by live performances - with street entertainer 'Elton Wrong ' roaming the mall with his piano delighting guests with the hits, and face painting on offer for youngsters on Friday 5 May.

On Saturday 6 May, The Core Theatre in Theatre Square will be showing a live screening of the Coronation event. Guests will feel like royalty, with the opportunity to take photos at a royal-themed selfie station located in the former Topshop unit.

The celebrations continue on Monday 8 May with Touchwood 's infamous Jack & Jill stilt walkers wandering the centre.

Touchwood is also supporting festivities organised by the Solihull BID, with the Coronation themed family sticker trail available to collect from the Touchwood Information Desk.

Lucy Burnett, marketing manager at Touchwood, said: “We are delighted to be hosting a range of activities at Touchwood this bank holiday weekend to celebrate the King 's Coronation. We have plenty on offer to keep the whole family entertained and look forward to bringing the community together to commemorate this historic event - you don 't want to miss out! ”
