Wallingford to Celebrate St George’s Day in Style: Saturday 24th April
Wallingford is a market town with a Castle on the River Thames. It dates back to the 9th century, and is located half way between Windsor and Oxford. On St George’s Day, the Market Place will be the focus for stalls, entertainment and musical attractions. Clog dancers will also be taking to the streets and local food producers plying their wares in the Regal Centre on St Martin’s Street– a thoroughly British tradition.
Parking is available at the Cattle Market car park (first hour is free), the Goldsmiths Lane car park (first two hours free) and at the Riverside Car park on the Crowmarsh side of the River Thames which will provide visitors with an excellent view of the River Thames as they cross over to join the celebrations.
The Market Place will be closed to traffic from 10am to 4pm while the celebrations take place between 11am and 3pm. The local producers market is open from 9am so it is a good place to start your day.
Bring the whole family to enjoy the celebrations – there is something for everyone – and there are numerous places for coffee or a meal. Why not consider staying the weekend and walking a little of The Thames Path?
