St George's Day Celebrations

Derby LIVE are working in association with The Lost Boys, along with local dance and community groups, to bring you a feast of family fun for St George’s Day.

So join us as we celebrate Merrie Olde England, with a parade lead by St George and the dragon, dancing, a craft fair and lots of English eccentricity.
