All Around The Maypole!

Highworth celebrates May Day with medieval market

It was a throw-back to medieval times in Highworth today to celebrate May Day.

 

The high street and market square the venue for story telling, stilt walkers, jugglers, farm animals, jousting - on bikes! plus a traditional May Day dance around the May Pole.

 

The atmosphere made all the better by people dressing up in their finest medieval costumes as part of a historical theme taking Highworth back to the 15th century.
