Little Scrummers Creating the opportunity for families to begin their early adventure into sport together was the vision of Little Scrummers 9 years ago, inspired by clubs such as the All Blacks as well as the owners’ young son. Since then they have been delivering classes to children aged 18 months to 7 years in a positive and fun environment, embracing a real ‘rugby family’ ethos. With a committed, passionate, enthusiastic and fun team, Little Scrummers offer classes that are seriously fun, with inspiring coaching, and so much more! The weekly sessions see once shy children grow in confidence with friendships formed and abilities growing.

Luton Council is planning a dragontastic St George’s Day this year, filling St George’s Square with dragon themed activities and attractions for the whole family.


Take part in interactive adventures with the pirate knight Sir Aurelious Jones, saving him from Epico the Dragon, and have a go on the beautiful wooden musical installation, George the Dragon, operating handles to make him blow bubbles and play music.


Activities include dragon colouring, and making shields and swords, and Next Generation Youth Theatre will be performing two dance pieces. Punch and Judy return with their traditional show and delicious cream teas will be handed out by Luton in Harmony, which you can enjoy whilst sat in one of the many giant deckchairs made available on the day.


You’ll also be able to have a go at wall climbing, caving trails, balloon modelling and plenty of other dragon arts and crafts.


London Luton Airport Ltd (LLAL), the council’s airport company, is generously acting as principal sponsor, making the event possible.


Councillor Andy Malcolm, Chair of LLAL, said “Once again, we have an exciting St George’s Day lined up and it’s going to be a great day out for families.


“LLAL is delighted to be part of this, and to be able to say thank you for the ongoing support that the airport receives from residents. We’re proud to be providing funding for a variety of vital community events that take place across the town, and we hope that everyone has a fantastic day.”


St George’s Day starts at 11am in St George’s Square on Saturday 20 April, and will run until 6pm.
