Coronation Ball
Coronation Ball - Join us to celebrate the crowning of King Charles III. Tuesday, 9th May, 2023
It’s time to dust off those dancing shoes (and get your glad rags out): In celebration of the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III, Age Concern Otago is hosting a ball at the South Dunedin Community Hall on Tuesday, 9 May, from 1.30-3.30pm.
You don’t have to be able to cut the rug like Ginger Rogers or Fred Astaire to come along. The Coronation Ball is perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy some music and raise a toast to Charles, who will be crowned King by the Archbishop of Canterbury in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey a few days earlier.
As well as afternoon tea, there will be a cash bar, and live music from popular Dunedin trio, the Oxo Cubans.
“Our Coronation Ball promises to be a lot of fun,” says Kristen, of Age Concern. “It’s not only a great chance to commemorate the crowning of Charles in style, but to get together with good music and dancing.”
Coronations don’t roll around every year - the last one, of Charles’ mother Queen Elizabeth II, was 70 years ago – so make sure you come along and help us celebrate a piece of history.
Tickets, which are only $5 per person (a bit cheaper than the £1,250 the Ritz Carlton are charging for their shindig), can be purchased from the Age Concern Otago office at 9 The Octagon, Dunedin Central 9016.
The Coronation Ball itself takes place at the South Dunedin Community Hall, 253 King Edward Street, Dunedin 9012 on Tuesday, May 9, from 1.30-3.30pm.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
