There’s also plenty of hands-on fun on the day where you can scale the climbing wall, craft your own sword and crown before embarking on an exciting dragon hunt around town. And if that’s not enough, visit Teaching Talons, The Animal Ambassadors Ltd, as they bring history to life with their Medieval Bestiary’ animal encounters. Come face-to-face with their very own ‘dragon’ and discover some of the strange, funny, and fascinating medieval animal myths and legends people once believed. The English School of Falconry Display Team will also be joining the event with a static display of magnificent birds of prey, along with flying demonstrations throughout the day. A perfect opportunity to get up close and learn more about these incredible birds! 

The party isn’t over until you are ready to roar with laughter and dance your way to victory at DJ Dragons Dance Party! Celebrate St George’s Day with our giant, friendly DJ Dragon, and a lively host in a short, high-energy interactive show bursting with classic party dances, hilarious dance games, and your chance to win some fantastic prizes! It’s a truly legendary party where everyone’s a winner on the dance floor! 

There's still lots to do across the day with a performance from Dunstable Town Band, meet Sir Roland De Preaux who will take you on a journey through the life of medieval knights, Maypole dancing and much more!
