Celebrate St.George’s Day with us. Join the event where you
like. In the morning, The Horseboating Society will work a
horse-drawn boat up the Diggle flight of locks entering the
Tunnel at 1pm at Diggle. You can join a guided walk over the
tunnel top, 4 miles on uneven terrain, while the boat is legged
through the tunnel. The boat will emerge from Standedge Tunnel
around 3pm, having been attacked by the resident tunnel dragon.
Through the day, people at the Visitor Centre can prepare to
defend themselves from the dragon by making swords and shields.
There will be a short outdoor play and all call for the help of
St. George. Can St.George slay the evil dragon to save the
trembling villagers? If he can, there will be celebrations with
fiery ginger beer and a St. George brew to drink with cake!
