2026 St George's Day Celebration

The annual St. George's Day celebrations are held in Pinner Village High Street on a Sunday in April close to St George's Day. The picturesque High Street is closed to traffic for the day and transformed into a family friendly venue for celebrating the patron saint of England, St George.

This year our St George's Day Celebrations will take place on 
Sunday 19th April 2026, from 12 noon to 5pm

Pinner High Street will be filled with entertainment for everyone with performers, stalls and activities. There will be bell ringing in the Parish Church, children's rides and games, face painting, food stalls and much more!

The Wheelbarrow Race

The highlight of the celebrations is always the 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 starts at Little Common (just past the Police Station) and ends at Church Farm Green (opposite the Parish Church).
