A BIG screen will be put up at Westquay for people to enjoy Eurovision - and the King's coronation. 

Next month Westquay will host a big screen event that will showcase the highly anticipated Eurovision broadcasts. 

A giant outdoor screen will be set up on the Esplanade, showcasing the opening ceremony, the two semi-finals, and the final. 

The UK is hosting Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine. 

Eurovision tickets sold out within 90 minutes, and the public screenings on the giant screen will undoubtedly add to the already unmissable atmosphere.

In addition to broadcasting this year's Eurovision Song Contest, the Big Screen will showcase the coronation ceremony of King Charles III. 

Royal fans can watch this historic occasion live on Saturday, May 6. 

The coronation ceremony is taking place at Westminster Abbey, where the King will be crowned alongside The Queen Consort in a service that reflects the monarch's role today while being rooted in long-standing traditions and pageantry.

The screenings will be open to the public and free of charge. 

There will be no tickets required, and everyone is welcome to attend.

The Big Screen is the result of a partnership between the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS), Southampton City Council, and Westquay, and will be open from May 6–13.

Carolyn Abel, head of culture and tourism at Southampton City Council, said: "We're excited to collaborate with DCMS and Westquay to bring the Big Screen to Southampton so that our local residents and visitors can choose to see these momentous events in the wonderful setting next to Southampton’s medieval town walls."

Laura Read, general manager of Westquay, said: "We are delighted to partner with Southampton City Council and the DCMS to provide a fantastic viewing experience for the Coronation and the Eurovision broadcasts. We look forward to welcoming residents and visitors to the Esplanade to share in this historic occasion."

The Eurovision opening ceremony will take place on Sunday, May 7, the two semi-finals on Sunday, May 9 and Tuesday, May 11, and the final on Saturday, May 13.
