Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan has announced that the capital will host a celebration for St George’s Day in Trafalgar Square this year.
While St George’s Day itself falls on 23 April, the event in Trafalgar Square will take place on Sunday 19 April.
Khan announced the celebration in a social media post, stating “Save the date: celebrate St George’s Day in the heart of London.”
“Join us in Trafalgar Square for a free, family-friendly festival celebrating the best of English culture with live music and performances. “
The event will take place from 12pm until 6pm and will be free to enter for all.
The event will feature several attractions alongside a main stage in Trafalgar Square, including live music, dance, workshops, crafts and street food.
