Celebrate St Georges Day

Romford Market stallholders will transform the market place into a colourful pageant of banners, streamers and bunting this Saturday, 25 April for their annual celebration of England's patron saint.

The spectacular all day event is being held on the closest Saturday to St George's Day, 23 April. Entertainment will be provided by the Royal Liberty Morris Dancers and the Havering Majorettes, while a magician will mingle with the crowds to perform tricks and add to the fun.
Children will be able to enjoy themselves at face painting sessions.There's bound to be plenty of fun for everyone, so bring the family along, make a day of it and celebrate in style.

The entertainment runs from 11am to 3pm.It is important to celebrate the Patron Saint of England and where better to do that than at an English market that has been around for 750 years. St George's Day is a fun reminder to celebrate our country's traditions, culture, heritage, history and natural beauty - something we can be very proud of in Havering.

Romford District Scouts will also be on parade in Collier Row on Sunday, for their annual St Georges Day Parade, the march past starts from Clockhouse Lane at 2.30pm on Sunday and ends at the Corpus Christi Church in Lowshoe Lane, Collier Row.
