The Maypolers committee has started to make plans for this year’s May Day which will be on Monday 1st May, and are working closely with FOSS and the Sports and Social Club to make this a Community Day.
If you would like to lend a hand either on the committee itself or on the day then all offers are most welcomed. The committee works along side FOSS and their Scarecrow trail to organise the whole day, ensuring it runs smoothly including sorting the stalls and performers. If you have good organisational skills or feel you have other skills to offer and would like to come on board then please contact the Maypolers on [email protected].
On a more general note, help is always needed on the day to help setup and take down gazebos and stalls so again please get in touch if you can help. FOSS have kindly agreed to take over the running of the refreshments on the Monday as well as during the Scarecrow trail weekend and would really appreciate any offers of cakes, sandwiches etc that you could bring on the day to boost their supplies. You can contact

Would you like to have a stall?
Although we have a range of regular stalls at the May Day event we would welcome other clubs or individuals that would like to run one. Stalls are usually run in aid of a local good cause or club or could be a local craft or artisan stall. We request no ‘trade’ stalls though as his is a local community event. Contact us on the above Maypolers email if you are interested or would like to find out more. May Day is the weekend before the Coronation weekend and celebrations so, why not get your decorations out a week early and brighten up the Village for May Day as well.
There will be a ‘good old fashioned’ Jumble Sale in Hovingham for the first time in several years on Saturday (21st January). Proceeds will go to the Hovingham Playground and All Saints Church Hovingham. Details can be found below:
