Well, ladies and gentlemen, if you’re looking for something exciting to do and are in the vicinity of Leicester on Saturday, 20 April, 2024, there’s to be a grand celebration of St George’s Day. Saturdays aren’t always conveniently placed on anniversaries, so the 20th is the closest one!
To quote from this site City gets ready for St George’s Day Festival (leicester.gov.uk) :-
“….England’s patron saint will be the inspiration for a packed programme of heritage-themed free events in and around the Guildhall, the Cathedral and other sites in Leicester’s Old Town on Saturday 20 April….
“….From 12 noon until 5pm, people of all ages will be able to enjoy traditional entertainment, historical re-enactments, outdoor theatre and guided tours of the historic venues, as well as food, drink, arts and crafts at a modern-day medieval market….
“….There’ll be performances by Morris dancers, as well as the chance to have a go at maypole dancing at Leicester’s Guildhall, where a live musician and a guide will lead visitors through the steps….”
And so on. It sounds as if there’s plenty to occupy both adults and children, so have at it.
