Celebrate St George's Day in Style with England Flags
St George's Day, celebrated on 23rd April each year, is England's national day — a time to honour the patron saint of England. Whether you're hosting a pub event, a street party, a school celebration, or simply want to show your patriotic spirit, flying an England flag is a great way to mark the occasion.
At the Flag and Bunting Store, we stock a wide range of England flags perfect for every type of St George's Day celebration — from traditional St George's Cross flags to decorative waving flags and specialist event banners.
The History of St George's Day
St George is believed to have been a Roman soldier who became a Christian martyr in the 3rd century AD. He was adopted as England's patron saint during the medieval period, and his iconic red cross on a white background — the St George's Cross — has been a symbol of England for centuries. It forms the basis of the England flag.
