St George's Day Celebrations

The Derby celebrations are going online from a Dragon Procession at home to an online Ceilidh

Just as St George would not be beaten by a dragon, so Derby is refusing to let the COVID pandemic get the better of its annual St George’s Day celebrations this year. To keep everyone safe in line with current restrictions, all the quintessentially English frolics are happening online, with citizens called upon to play an active part from the comfort of their own homes.

If you would like to submit your own films of your dragon procession at home or your version of a Mummer's Play to take part in the online celebration, read our Filming Tips and complete the submission form. 

Book a free ticket to watch the celebration on Fri 23 Apr (and until Fri 29 Apr).
Hold your own online folk dance evening at home via Zoom on Fri 23 Apr with FOLK3D’s Ceilidh
