Last night our celebrations of St George’s Day got under way with a successful Quiz at the Sycamore Inn. Although today is the actual feast day (see our previous post on the history of St. George), the main events are on Sunday with the Odd Fellows Parade and the Church Service in the morning and the Fair on the Green in the afternoon:
Programme for Sunday 25th April
- 9-15am Legion open for people to gather
- 10-15am Odd Fellows, Cyberscouts & Cadets Parade starts at the Legion
- 11-00am St. George’s Day Service in St. Peter’s Church
- 1-00pm BBQ & Refreshments at the Legion
- 1-00 to 4-00pm Fair on the Green inc stalls, refreshments and live music
Celebration of St George’s Day is a recent revival, so do share your thoughts on what the day means to you or how the day used to be marked in the past. Any photographs of the celebrations (old or new) can be sent to parwich@hotmail.co.uk for inclusion in our reports of the events.

Yet again we have missed out on St George’s day parade in Parwich. We always manage to book our stay at Croft Cottage the week before. It is lovely to see that the village are totally embracing the day like we all should. Puts where we live and other places to shame. We will plan better next year. Thanks again Saskia for a great stay. Good to see the Marshall too! Mandy and Colin Berry from Hadleigh Suffolk.
