Celebrate St. George’s Day in Trafalgar Square

This event has already passed

The heart of the capital will be fluttering with red and white flags as over 20,000 people descend on Trafalgar Square to celebrate our nation's patron saint, St. George.

Live entertainement and family activites

A big stage will be erected at the base of Nelson's Column for an afternoon of live music, comedy and dance that celebrate English culture. It wouldn't be St. George's Day without a bit of Morris dancing and a few sea shanties!

There will also lots of fun family activities like a fairground carousel, sports games, science workshops and face painting for the kids.

Or maybe you'd like to don a medieval costume and get a selfie with a dragon, or link arms with the famous Pearly Kings & Queens?

Food and drink stalls

There will also be lots of stalls selling traditional English fare like fish and chips, Pimms and gin, warm ale and beer, and sweet pastry treats.

We also recommend… If you enjoy Trafalgar Square then you might like to visit Covent Garden (you can walk it in 7 mins), Leicester Square (you can walk it in 4 mins) and Piccadilly Circus (you can walk it in 6 mins)
