Liverpool, Merseyside, UK 26th April, 2015. St George's Day red Welsh dragon in costume, Goodwill ambassadors at the Festival held in the St George's Quarter, an area of the city described as the unique historic heart of Liverpool.
"Gillian Miller, chief executive of the Royal Court Trust and chairman of the St George’s Quarter – which recently launched a 10 year master plan to develop the quarter as a family friendly destination, said: “This year’s St George’s Festival is going to be the biggest and best yet. “All the venues in the quarter have got something magical going on and such has been the desire to show off the quarter we’ve had to expand the festival to a whole weekend to include all the activities. “We’re delighted we’ve managed to bring Punch and Judy back to its spiritual home, and I think the entire festival is going to showcase what an amazing asset St John’s Gardens is for the quarter, and for Liverpool city centre.’’ ‘Professor’ David Wilde, one of the UK’s best Punch and Judy masters who also houses one of its largest collections of puppets and memorabilia, said he was thrilled to be invited to the festival. David, who has also worked on the heritage of the art form with the Victoria and Albert Museum, added: “Everyone knows about Professor Codman and the Punch and Judy connections his family have with Liverpool. “It’s going to be a real thrill to be walking in their footsteps. Punch and Judy has an amazing heritage in this country and it’s great to be part of a new chapter in Liverpool for this St George’s festival.’’ Source Liverpool Echo
