St George's Day in Chester

23rd April is St George's Day

Reports of a fire breathing Dragon approaching Chester has led to a call for St George to return to defend the city. On Wednesday 23 April, St George's Day celebrations take to the streets of Chester with a tournament to pick a brave knight to slay the Dragon and save the princess in a street performance with local school children.
The Lord Mayor of Chester is hosting and funding a roaming street performance starting at 11am in Town Hall Square, and local artist Russell Kirk has been commissioned to help re-tell the St George legend but with a few Chester specific twists to the tale. Residents and visitors can look forward to a spectacular performance by local school children and performers.
St. George's Day is an important event in the British calendar, where each year England celebrates its patron St. George. His emblem – a red cross on a white background – is England's flag and forms part of the Union Flag.
