Despite what your diary/calendar might say, Mayday this year will be FRIDAY 8th May, to fit in with the VE day anniversary. Celebrations in Slingsby will run on FRIDAY from 11am until 3pm.
Brass Bands, Morris dancers, teas, pulled pork sandwiches, ice-creams, an exhibition of ‘Slingsby at war’ (to commemorate VE day) and various stalls including children’s games. The centre piece will be the traditional maypole dancing by the children of Slingsby school. All this will take place on the village green or in the village hall. There will also be a scarecrow trail all around the village. Lots of fun for all the whole family.
