Rejected petition TO HAVE AN ENGLISH DAY BANK HOLIDAY ST GEORGES DAY

More details

You are one of many thousands of people in England that love their country and want to celebrate St. George's Day with a bank holiday on 23 April. We are a group of unpaid volunteers that promote England's national day and lobby MPs and local Councils.

England lags far behind the rest of Europe in the number of bank holidays we get. A bank holiday on St. George's Day would be a great opportunity for all the English (regardless of colour or religion) to recognise what binds us together.

Everything from football to fish & chips, and cricket to curry could be celebrated on our national day
