Pinner St George's Day celebration

The High Street will be filled with entertainment for everyone with performers, stalls and activities. Full Entertainment Programme

Breaking news: Sadly St George is not well so he and his trusty steed are not able to join in our celebrations!

There will be bellringing in the Parish Church with an opportunity to watch the campanologists perform, children's rides and games, a petting farm, face painting, balloon modelling, food stalls and much more! Radio Harrow will be broadcasting live with commentary and interviews.

At 1pm the Scouts, led by the Mayor of Harrow and St George on Gusar the horse, will parade up the High Street to the War Memorial and renew their Promise. 

This will be followed by folk dancing from English Miscellany, Punch & Judy, and live music from local band Simply Gray. 

The highlight of the celebrations is always Ye Olde Wheelbarrow Race, a unique Pinner event in which teams of two take it in turns to push their partner in a wheelbarrow, drink beer and race round the streets of Pinner. This will take place at 3pm.

Please note: the High Street will be closed to traffic between 9am and 6pm. There will be no parking in the High Street.
