The Mansfield Woodhouse Community Development Group had organised the Yeoman Hill Park party for Monday.

However, the organisation has taken the decision to cancel it because bad weather, and possibly thunderstorms, are forecast for Monday.

Writing on its Facebook page, the group said: “It is with great disappointment that we have taken the decision to cancel Monday's Coronation Party in Yeoman Hill Park.

Monday is a bank holiday to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III tomorrow, Saturday.

“This is due to the inclement weather expected over the weekend and into next week.

“We will be looking to reschedule the event for Saturday, June 24, as part of our traditional Party in the Park celebrations.”

He said: “It’s such a shame as we were looking forward to being there and showcasing what we are all about. We look forward to hopefully being involved in the rescheduled event.”
