Last year, the popular park celebrated its 100th anniversary with a huge party in the park and now, the council is planning to do it all again for the crowning of King Charles III.
Planning is in progress for the event – which will take place between 10am and 3pm on the day – and next week, the council is meeting the Lord-Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire and his office to go through plans which were announced at a meeting of the council’s cabinet this week.
