The
May Fair traditionally takes place on a
Tuesday in late May but today it is at the
heart of a week of events which make up
the May Fair Festival. Horses are still
exercised and sold in Main Street and
there is a variety of modern amusements in
the Square.
It
begins with the Mayor's Parade followed by
sports, street events, concerts and
exhibitions. Local shops compete for the
best dressed window. Children take part in
Fancy Dress Competitions and the Duck
Race.
A May
Fair Queen is chosen to represent the town
over the next year. People come from far
and wide to meet old friends and make new
ones.
