Monday 6 May, 11am to 3pm, Slingsby Village Green and Village Hall
The preparations for Slingsby’s Mayday celebration are coming together nicely: dancers and musicians have been practising, scarecrows are being made (in secret), and the many stalls with crafts of all sorts are being made ready. Slingsby is proud to have one of the few remaining maypoles in Ryedale. It has survived the march of modernisation, but not without the odd mishap, as the timeline here shows: https://www.slingsbyvillage.co.uk/our-village/slingsby-maypole/
The Mayday programme looks like this:
There will be stalls all around the village green and in the village hall. Refreshments in the Methodist school room. This year there are some fantastic raffle prizes. Full details in the leaflet below:
