St George’s Day is an opportunity to acknowledge national tradition, while also reflecting on Warwickshire’s local identity, rich heritage, beautiful landscapes and warm communities.
St George’s Day - 23 April - is celebrated on the date that William Shakespeare was both born in 1564 and died in 1616 and is also shared with Warwickshire Day.
Warwickshire is a place where people come together. From bustling market towns like Nuneaton and Royal Leamington Spa to the charming villages nestled in the countryside, our communities are the heart and soul of the county. The county is also home to thriving businesses, and a pioneering spirit that drives innovation across many sectors.
