Villagers in Hornton are holding their traditional annual May Day Fair on the May 1st.
The Fair has been running for more than 25 years and offers a fun-filled day for the whole family.
It begins with the May Day Parade at 1pm, which culminates at the Village Green where the May King and Queen, a boy and girl from Hornton Primary School, are crowned.
Following this some of the school children will dance around the Maypole. They have been practising for weeks, under the tuition of Mrs Wendy Whitehouse, the Headteacher at Horton Primary School. It takes some skill to weave all those ribbons!
The event continues with Morris Men performing around the Green where there will be more than 20 stalls. These include the ever popular homemade cakes, the excellent selection of pre -loved clothes, toys, and great finds on the ‘vintage’ White Elephant, which promises to be a little different this year. The plant stall will have summer bedding and there will be lots of games, trampolines and the t-cup ride for young children as well as the barbecue, afternoon tea and the ice cream stall.
