England's legendary patron Saint George will be celebrated in Salisbury Market Place on Sunday, April 28, from 10am until 4pm.
The celebrations, organised by Salisbury City Council, have been designed with family entertainment in mind and most activities are free to participate in.
The day will take place outside and begins at 9.55am with a short procession of Salisbury city councillors led by Mace Bearers and featuring the Salisbury Giant.
