Cool dream!
I've seen some St Georges in local woodland. Checked my usual patch last week and they hadn't popped up yet. Its an open patch so it may be a little dry as we haven't had much rain for a few weeks now but the rings are prominent in the grass.

struggling to find any in South Nottingham, perhaps due to the warm weather and no rain, or perhaps because I am looking in the wrong places! Any tips on where to look would be appreciated, I've never found a St George!

Local St. George patches I know are near woodland edges, beneath hedgerows and hidden among the shrubs at the back of some flats - leaf-littered, fairly shady places. I'm in Cheshire.

You might be too late this year. A couple of weeks ago they were out and some were getting dry as they do.

Anyway good luck!

I managed to buy some from Borough Food market in London. First time i tried them and they were delicious!

Well done Charlie

In Poole there's a big open recreation ground and one part of the grassland has cowslips growing on it, its sort of like old pasture land where St George's grow.
Last time I checked a few weeks ago they weren't up yet, but unfortunately I have been unable to go back and check, although I suspect its been a bit dry for them this year.
Also, as JdeV says, I have seen them along woodland edges but they've gone over now.
Good luck.
