Everything from street parties to themed events are to be staged across Wiltshire by people who want to celebrate the royal wedding in style on April 29.

Patriotic Chippenham will flock to the Market Place for a party organised by the Tourist Information Centre.

The Chippenham Town Band will play from 3pm while the Mayor signs a giant congratulatory card to Prince William and Kate Middleton. The Hips and Haws morris dancers will also take part.

The red, white and blue bunting that welcomed HM the Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh to Chippenham in 2001 will adorn the High Street.

Emma King at Chippenham Tourist Information Centre said: “It’s going to be a lovely day.

“It will be on the same day as the market, so there’s going to be lots on, including plenty for children and families to do at the museum.”

The Museum and Heritage Centre in the Market Place will have a week of themed activities, including royal wedding workshops for children.

Visitors will be making banners and bunting, designing a royal wedding coin, tile or stamp and creating the giant wedding card to be signed by the Mayor.

Curator Melissa Barnett said: “There’s going to be lots going on, including a wedding exhibition from April 11 to May 7 with lots of royal wedding ephemera.

“Then there will be a week of activities for children to take part in too. We’re very pleased to be taking part in the celebrations.”

There will also be activities for adults, including a stag and hen night at The Crown in Yatton Keynell.

“We’re going to be having a ‘children’s party’, but for adults, with finger sandwiches and ice cream and jelly,” said bar manager Marissa Hawker this week.

Marlborough Town Council has agreed to underwrite a royal wedding garden party in the town to the tune of £5,000.

But councillors hope that the event on April 29 will break even or even make a slight profit.

The council’s finance and policy committee agreed the £2,800 hire of a marquee to be erected in Priory Gardens, which will be the venue for a children’s party during the day and a barn dance and hog roast in the evening.

Although the children’s party will be free and every child in the town will be invited, tickets will be sold for the barn dance and, if all 400 are sold, it could turn a profit for the event and help subsidise the afternoon’s event.

The children will all receive a specially minted commemorative medal.

Although Devizes Town Council is not organising any special events for the big day, other organisations are planning ways of commemorating the big day.

Devizes Townswomen’s Guild will give their annual dinner a royal wedding theme and are asking members attending to dress up specially for the occasion.

They are also asking them to bring along a personal wedding photo.

Residents in Blackberry Lane, Potterne, will celebrate the day in traditional style thanks to the efforts of two young women in the street.

Louise Watson, 16, and Stacey Huntley, 20, were despondent that nothing was being organised.

Miss Watson’s father, Nigel, said: “So the pair of them decided to organise a street party. I applied for the road closure but they have done everything else.

“They have been door to door along the street asking people to make sandwiches and other food. They have organised stocks for throwing wet sponges, a bouncy castle and apple bobbing for the kids.

“There is a tremendous amount to get organised for these things and I think it is great that two young girls should have taken this on themselves.”

Miss Huntley works at Dauntsey’s School and Miss Watson is studying hair and beauty at Trowbridge College.

Instead of organising a street party, All Cannings Parish Council is planning to create a mini football pitch on an area of the Glebe field.

The parish council has bought goal posts for £250 and the area is to be named William and Kate’s Playing Field.

In Burbage The Good Companions are having their own royal wedding celebration, a lunch at 12.30pm on Wednesday, April 27. This is in addition to the village street party on Friday, April 29. Mary Powell has suggested that members attending the pre-royal wedding celebration lunch on April 27 should dress as though attending a wedding, and to bring their wedding photographs with them.

The village street party will be held on April 29 in the Church Centre and hopefully outside in Eastcourt and on the Church Green.

In Baydon it has been suggested that as it is a year since the new pub landlords took over, the celebrations should focus around the pub and shop area.

In Sherston Cilla Liddington, Jill Cainey and Martin Rea are spearheading the village plans to celebrate. With the wedding ceremony at 11am a party is being put together to take place in the village hall from around 1pm to 5pm. Everyone is invited to the free event, which will have attractions for all age groups. It is hoped that the High Street can be suitably decorated and to publicise the event all children under 11 are being asked to design a poster.

Entry details are available from Sherston School, Sherston Post Office Stores and via www.sherston.net. Contact Cilla Liddington with any ideas for the celebrations or with offers of help on (01666) 840128 or email sherstoncilla@tiscali. co.uk.

In Sutton Benger all village groups are being asked to take part in a family fun day for charity at the Wellesley Arms to celebrate on April 29.
