The St George in Southwark Festival gives visitors a well rounded overview of the English patron saint's connection to this south London borough. From theatrical performances to tours of St George's Cathedral, photography exhibitions and street musicians at Borough Market this festival offers a huge variety of very English ways to celebrate St George's feast day. At Southwark Cathedral, John Constable's The Southwark Mysteries (22nd, 23rd, 24th April 2010 at 7.15pm; doors open 6.45pm) are performed ten years after their first showing at Shakespeare's Globe, with a selection of bible-based medieval mystery plays being given a modern day makeover. On Friday 23rd April, St George's Day itself, you can enjoy a St George's lunch at Blackfriars Settlement followed by an open-air theatre performance in 12 musical minutes by the Lion's part, featuring our hero St George and a magnificent dragon. The following day the St George Festival Fun Day brings music, dance, food and gardening to St George the Martyr church on Borough High Street when children's drama group Damian and the Dragon are just part of the St George's Day themed entertainment.About Southwark Cathedral

It has a varied and lively history and houses interesting memorials connected with the Elizabethan theatres of Bankside. There are monuments to Edmund Shakespeare, (the famous playwright's brother) and dramatists John Fletcher and Philip Massinger. More about Southwark Cathedral
