St George’s Fayre

The St. Georges Day Fayre is a partnership event produced with MarketPlace Arts. This April, Same Sky artists will work with 120 pupils in Westwood Primary to create a spectacular parade celebrating England, and the communities of Cambridgeshire.

St George was born in Lydda, Roman Palestine and became and Officer in the Roman Army. He believed in equality and tolerance and he fought for his soldiers rights to believe in which ever faiths they had chosen.

His message of tolerance to all faiths is still very relevant to this day. He believed that we should all be able to have our own faiths so long as we did not hurt others. We talk to the students about what a caring and honourable man he must have been for people to still be celebrating his life as an example today, 1,500 years on.
