May Queen and King Crowning Ceremony. Meet at the Village Hall off Warren Road at 2.00pm on Saturday 10th May 2008.
The May Queen tradition goes back over a hundred years in England, when it was many a young girl’s dream to be chosen as queen of May and crowned with a garland of flowers at the Maypole. We hope to bring back this tradition as an annual event in Wickersley. On 10th May this year the successful girl and boy will be chosen and crowned May Queen and May King for a year and receive a prize.
