The Brunswick Centre has announced it will be celebrating the King's coronation with a concert by a platinum-selling group and an array of free children's entertainment. 

The centre opposite Russell Square tube station, which is home to a range of restaurants and shops, as well as a Waitrose, will hold the event from 4-8pm on Thursday, May 4. 

The Puppini Sisters, who have performed for King Charles and alongside Michael Bublé, will be performing swing-style re-workings of modern pop songs on stage between 6pm and 8pm.

There will be an assortment of entertainers at the event for families to enjoy from 4pm to 6pm, including Henry VIII, a town crier, jester and princesses. The centre has also arranged for three Pearly King and Queens to be at the centre to meet and greet visitors.

Stilt walkers, a magician and three balloon modellers will also be performing between 4pm and 6pm to create magical balloon characters to take home, and three face painters will be on hand to transform children into whatever character they’d like.
