St. Georges day was extended for us this weekend. We went along to Lytham St. Annes on Sunday for the St. Georges Day Festival Family Day. The weather held on (just), and the crowds were out.
Even though it was busy we easily found a parking space and set off to explore. The first thing that grabbed us was the hot roast pork barms. yummy! The marquee was buzzing with local crafts, retailers and a dance area where we sat back and enjoyed the Kirkham Grammar School Choir and Scream Dance School.
Back outside and the rides for children were full of excited kids enjoying themselves. My 18 month old was eager to try them all out but unfortunately too young this year. He enjoyed looking around the Spitfire alot - in fact it was a challenge to move him along!
Finally we sat down to watch the re-enactment of St. George slaying the dragon. A great family afternoon and we're already looking forward to Lytham Proms 2010 on 21st August to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. Bring on the tanks!

yes the St Georges Day Festival was brilliant once again. the Black Tie Ball on Saturday Held up the wonderful English theme with locally produced food being served up to 400 revellers. Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudds went down well served again by Rowleys and The Team whilst Lytham Brewery served up the drinks. Looking forward to the Proms which promises to be a great night too!!
