Following the coronation of King Charles III, English Heritage sites across the West Midlands will be putting on a week of royally good activities and fresh air fun during the upcoming half-term.

At Kenilworth Castle the kids are in charge at special 'Kids Rule!' events taking place between 27 May and 4 June.

Celebration crowns will also be handed out on arrival so children can feel like a King or Queen for the day.

The crown features an illustrated timeline of famous rulers, stretching from Emperor Hadrian all the way to Charles III.

The giant version of English Heritage's 'Rulers of England' ruler will also still be on display at Kenilworth during half-term, allowing visitors to see how far back through history they can jump.

Matt Bulford, English Heritage's head of historic properties for the West Midlands, commented: "We're delighted to welcome Members and visitors to our sites for the half-term holidays for what is shaping up to be a fantastic week, made extra-special by our coronation inspired activities.

"There will be plenty to see and do for all ages. You'll be spoilt for choice for excellent days out in the West Midlands!"

Similar events will also be on offer at Goodrich Castle in Herefordshire and Witley Court and Gardens in Worcestershire.
