The visit is set to include a ‘Community Games’ to showcase local sporting talent. Local school children are busy in training for the games, which will include running, jumping and throwing events, as well as tag rugby and mini tennis.
The Princess Royal will also be guided round the new community gardening facility, which is used by groups across the district to learn about gardening, self sufficiency and wildlife.
As part of her trip, Princess Anne will be introduced to councillors and officers from Lichfield District and City councils, as well as representatives from the skilled team that worked on restoring the park’s original features, and the main funders of Lichfield Historic Parks project - the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund.
The tour will finish with a short visit to the park’s Discovery Hub, before HRH the Princess Royal is invited to rededicate a statue of King Edward VII to commemorate the day’s visit.
Beacon Park will remain open to the public throughout the royal visit so why not enjoy lunch in the park and welcome The Princess Royal.
With all this sunshine forecast it will give you the chance to ‘pop’ along to Beacon Park and let the children enjoy all it has too offer.
