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?
