Ely's ever popular and unique eel festival is just around the corner.
This year themed around the Coronation of King Charles III, even the Eel will have a crown as it parades down Ely High Street.
Ely’s Coronation Eel Day will take place on Saturday Apil 29 beginning with the eel parade which will depart from Cross Green at 10.30am.
The parade will wiggle its way down Forehill, via the Riverside before arriving at Jubilee Gardens for 11am to begin the festivities.
Once the parade arrives, it’s participants will be greeted by a range of food and drink sellers, crafters and community groups.
There is also a full programme of entertainment in the 'eel arena' until 4pm.
Once Saturday’s excitement finishes, it’s time to look to the Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.
With over 70 traders offering a huge range of street food, artisan produce and incredible craft, the Coronation Food, Drink and Craft Fayre will take place on Palace Green and St Mary’s Green.
The final event to round off the Coronation is the beacon lighting which takes place on St Mary’s Green May 6 from 7pm.
