Thank you to all who took part and came to support the 2017 Mayfield Mayfair: tremendous crowds, wonderful dancing by even more schools, revived traditions and new attractions, all blessed by good weather.

New in 2017

2017 saw the introduction of even more traditional elements at the Mayfair.  The Mayfair started as usual with a short procession and this was then followed by the spectacle of Jack-in-the-Green (the Green Man) and Primavera fighting and defeating the Ice Queen and Jack Frost – a powerful symbol of spring banishing winter.

At the end, the BIG DANCE saw 56 people dancing round the Maypole at the same time and settting a record which we will aim to beat next year.
