Decorate for St George's Day with England Bunting
St George's Day on 23rd April is the perfect excuse to dress your home, pub, school, or venue in the colours of England. And nothing says patriotic celebration quite like a string of England bunting draped across a window, bar, or garden fence.
At the Flag and Bunting Store, we've helped thousands of customers across the UK create stunning St George's Day displays. Whether you're going all-out for a street party or simply adding a touch of red and white to your pub, this guide will give you all the inspiration and practical tips you need.
Why Bunting is Perfect for St George's Day
Bunting is one of the most versatile and cost-effective ways to decorate for any celebration. It's lightweight, easy to hang, reusable year after year, and instantly transforms a space. For St George's Day specifically, St George's Cross bunting — featuring the iconic red cross on white — creates an unmistakably English atmosphere.
From a few metres above a bar to a full street display stretching between lampposts, bunting scales beautifully to any setting.

Decoration Ideas for Every Setting
🍺 Pubs & Bars
Pubs are at the heart of St George's Day celebrations across England. Create a fantastic atmosphere by:
- Hanging bunting along the bar front and across the ceiling
- Placing England desk flags on every table for a finishing touch
- Draping bunting in the windows to draw in passing trade
- Combining with a large England flag above the bar as a centrepiece
🏘️ Street Parties & Community Events
St George's Day street parties are a brilliant way to bring a community together. For outdoor displays:
- String bunting between houses, lampposts, or fence posts at a height that won't obstruct pedestrians
- Use longer bunting runs to cover more ground — our bunting can be joined end-to-end for extended displays
- Add England waving flags for guests to wave during toasts and celebrations
- Decorate tables with red and white tablecloths and small desk flags as centrepieces
🏫 Schools & Community Halls
St George's Day is a wonderful opportunity to teach children about English heritage and national pride. Bunting is ideal for classroom and hall displays:
- Hang bunting across whiteboards, windows, and doorways
- Create a dedicated St George's Day display board with bunting as a border
- Give children small waving flags to take part in assemblies or parades
🏡 Home Displays
You don't need a big event to celebrate St George's Day in style. At home:
- Hang a string of bunting across your front garden or porch
- Display a flag in your window or from a garden flagpole
- Use desk flags as table centrepieces for a St George's Day dinner
Top Tips for Hanging Bunting
- Plan your run first — measure the space before ordering so you get the right length. It's always worth ordering a little extra.
- Use hooks or clips — adhesive hooks work well indoors; cable ties or string are ideal for outdoor posts and fences.
- Keep it taut but not tight — a gentle sag looks natural and festive; too tight and the pennants won't hang properly.
- Mix and layer — combine bunting with flags and waving flags for a fuller, more dynamic display.
- Store carefully after use — fold or roll bunting loosely to avoid creasing, and it'll be ready to reuse next year.
Complete Your St George's Day Display
Bunting looks even better when paired with complementary England flags and accessories. Here's what we recommend combining:
- 🏴 England Flag (St George's Cross) — fly from a pole or mount on a wall as a centrepiece
- 🚩 England Waving Flags — perfect for guests to hold and wave
- 🪧 England Desk / Table Flags — ideal for tables, bars, and reception desks
