How Will You Celebrate St George’s Day?
St George, the patron saint of England, has sadly not had a public holiday declared in his honour but is celebrated on 23rd April each year. Don’t let the lack of a day off work dampen your party spirits; make your way to one of these St George’s Day events and raise a glass to all that is great about England.
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Choral Society join forces on Sunday 21st April to mark the feast of St George. A number of favourite musical pieces such as Land of Hope and Glory, Jerusalem and We’ll Meet Again will be performed, alongside poetry from Wordsworth and Betjeman. Chris Hollins presents the Gala, which will start at 3pm on the Sunday prior to St George’s Day. Tickets can be purchased online or by telephoning the Royal Albert Hall on 020 7838 3100. Please get in touch if you would like information on hospitality packages.
