Coventry city centre will play host to three events to celebrate St. George’s Day this year from Tuesday 22 – Friday 25 April.
St. George's Day Dragon Trail is the perfect family-friendly activity and will take place from Tuesday 22 – Friday 25 in the city centre in four participating venues; Coventry Cathedral, Coventry Transport Museum, Belgrade Theatre and Herbert Art Gallery & Museum. The trail is suitable for young children with a prize for each person that completes it and locates each dragon on the map.
Visitors and residents can catch St. George slaying his dragon in Broadgate at the St. George's Day Pageant on Wednesday 23 April from 11am – 3.30pm. The pageant will also feature Morris dancers and a DJ to enjoy.
The Home from Home Arts Exhibition is also taking place at St. Mary’s Guildhall on Friday 25 April from 5 – 9pm. The exhibition will highlight shared values of unity, history and cultural diversity, featuring pieces that reflect both English traditions and the contributions of various cultural groups. It will create a space where people of all backgrounds can connect, reflect and celebrate the evolving identity of England.
All events are free and will be suitable for all ages including families and children.
Cllr Abdul Salam Khan, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Events, said: “We're delighted to once again be holding free family-friendly events to celebrate St. George’s Day this month.
“Those in the city centre will be able to watch performances from our entertainers themed for St. George’s Day in Broadgate, take part in the Dragon Trail and explore some of Coventry’s fantastic venues or enjoy an evening exhibition with some of Coventry’s Cultural groups.
“All events and entertainment are completely free to all residents and visitors. Last year our St. George’s Day celebrations were extremely popular and we hope to see many join us again this year.”
All events are completely free and do not require booking. Drop by and enjoy.
All events are organised by Coventry City Council.
