George of Sidmouth will arise outside the Anchor pub on noon on Easter Monday (April 22) accompanied by Sidmouth Steppers and members of Sid Vale Community Productions.

Henry Piper has made modifications to the giant over the winter months to allow George to be more mobile while taking in the sea air during the afternoon.

Members of the public will be able to have pictures with George and his faithful dragon, which will breath fire, due to Alex Morton.

The performers will head along the promenade and arrive at The Swan Inn for 2pm.

Organisers said this year’s play will not disappoint and full of audience participation.
