Mayfest 2024

Mayfest 2024

Monday, 6th May 

12pm- 3pm 

St Mary’s Church Field Orchard

Everyone is welcome!

Once again, the whole community is invited to celebrate the coming of the apple blossom at our Mayfest in the St Mary’s Church Field orchard, in the heart of Bridport.

Alongside the traditional celebrations with the May Queen and Jack-in-the-Green, there will be dancing, storytelling, the Big Foolini magic show and live music throughout the afternoon. As always for families, there will be crafts, a treasure hunt and activities for everyone, with Grub the sheep to set the scene!

There will also be a bargain plant stall … a new initiative looking to raise some money for the community allotment

The event will begin at midday with Wyld Morris, and end about 3pm when the May Queen and Jack will lead a procession to bless the orchard.

You will have plenty of time to enjoy the orchard in blossom. Bring a picnic if you like, and there will be hot and cold drinks and cakes for donations and Dorset Nectar cider for sale …. Please bring your ‘keep cups’ if you can, to help us minimise the use of disposable items.

Everyone is welcome!
