The fair is busy from 10am but is opened officially at 12 noon with the crowning of the May Queen by our guests of honour, former Northampton Saints rugby player, Soane Tonga’Uiha and his wife Lucy

This year’s May Queen is Isla McCombe and her attendants are Roseanna Hale and Pip Skyrme.  

The crowning ceremony will be followed by the traditional Maypole Dancing by the children of St Loys CEVA Academy, Lois Weedon, three of whom also designed the covers of the May Day Programme.

Then all the fun of the fair will start: dancing by Brackley Morris Men music from Brackley Brass Band, Children’s Entertainer - Silly Soapy, and the amazing Hawkeye Falconry display matched only by the fantastic aerobatics of our Model Aeroplanes and Helicopter.

We are especially pleased to announce our new pop festival – demonstrating the talent of local young musicians
