Residents in Telford are invited to attend the annual Spring Into St George’s Day celebration, a free family event taking place at the award-winning Telford Town Park on Saturday, 25 April 2026. Organised by Telford & Wrekin Council as part of their yearly events programme, the day offers a variety of performances and activities to celebrate the spring season and the feast day of England’s patron saint.
The event is a cornerstone of the council’s local activity initiatives, supported by an investment programme aimed at providing high-quality, accessible entertainment for the community. Visitors can expect a range of traditional attractions, including high-energy jousting displays by the professional troupe known as The Knights of Nottingham. Additional past entertainment has included birds of prey demonstrations, archery, axe throwing, and dance workshops, alongside a showcase of local talent in the Made in Telford marquee.
While the official feast day of St George is 23 April, this celebration is held on the following weekend to encourage attendance. Due to the popularity of the festival, which has attracted thousands of visitors in previous years, local families are encouraged to plan their visit accordingly. Prospective attendees can check the Visit Telford website for the most current information regarding the final hours of the event.
