An 'ever-increasing workload' and rising costs meant the Nottingham event could not go ahead
There will be a distinct lack of dressed-up knights and chanting patriots draped in England flags this Sunday in Old Market Square. After the return of the march last year, the 2023 St George's Day event was cancelled in Nottingham.
While a 60ft flag covers the front of Nottingham Council House, the surrounding area will be much quieter come April 23. However, for those still looking to celebrate St George, there are other options available.In Nottingham, the parade organisers are still putting on a celebration at Ye Olde Salutation Inn, which starts at midday. The event will include a raffle and a DJ playing patriotic music.
People will be able to take part in marches outside of Nottinghamshire, with one of the nearest being Derby on Saturday, April 22. An event in the city centre will kick-off with a parade at 11.45am, with community musicians leading a merry band of dancers to the Market Place, along with St George and his dragon.
