Salisbury City Council are organising a day of celebration as Salisbury Market Place and Guildhall Square come alive with an exciting, family-friendly St George’s Day event on Sunday, 27 April.

The day will kick off with a short procession, led by mace bearers, featuring medieval musicians, knights in shining armour, Morris dancers, and the Salisbury Giant, as well as Salisbury City Councillors. Arrive early to witness the opening festivities!

Organisers say that the event is "taking place in the heart of the city from 10 am to 4 pm, come and experience the lively atmosphere."

Browse various stalls, indulge in delicious food and drink, and enjoy an exciting lineup of activities, including creative workshops, children’s fair rides, medieval music, children’s knight school and historical re-enactments. With something for everyone, it’ promises to be a fun day for the whole family.

There will also be a free St George's Day-themed tour of the city, which will start at Salisbury Guildhall at 12 pm, led by the Blue Badge Guides.

Salisbury City Council said it ​​​​​​"is proud to still celebrate St George’s Day annually, and this is a wonderful opportunity to come together and enjoy a day filled with community, tradition, and entertainment – and entry is free!"
