F E AT U R E Old-fashioned St George’s Day fun ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY READY TO GET STUCK INTO SOME FUN ST GEORGE’S DAY CELEBRATIONS, MEDIEVAL-STYLE? THE COUNTDOWN IS ON AT TAMWORTH CASTLE! Owing to the coronavirus pandemic, Tamworth Borough Council’s Arts and Events team have only been able to offer a virtual programme of events and activities for the past two years. But in <strong>2022</strong> the team are keen to return to the grounds of the Castle in-person.

The story of England’s patron saint and how he battled the legendary dragon is as iconic today as that red and white cross.
