British Asparagus Festival Launch & St Georges Day Morris - Thu 23 April 2026

The traditional start of the Gras harvest, starting two months of British Asparagus Festival celebrations. Join us at 9am for aspara-antics, with morris dancers, classic cars, Gus the Asparagus Man and St George himself before we take the first hundred of gras on an exciting journey. ​

Over the years we’ve been to Buckingham Palace, Worcester Cathedral, the European Parliament in Brussels, Royal Hospital Chelsea, Japanese Embassy and many more. Watch this space for more 2026 details.

Later in the evening, local Northwest morris side Belle d’Vain dance out at the Fleece to celebrate St George’s Day, with invited guests.
