The 2025 May Queen date is scheduled for Saturday 05/07/2025
The 2024 event was held in the village centre (Davies Way & Henry Street car parks) in 2024 due to the state of the May Queen field following the wet autumn and winter, the event is expected to return to the May Queen field in 2025.
The May Queen website is the place to go for the latest updates, schedules and the revised layout for this year.
The images below are from 2024 (in the village car parks)
Expect the village centre to be VERY busy for the procession passing through. Brookfield Road & Eagle Brow usually have more space to view the procession.

2025 time & route to follow - assumed this will be the typical route (2024 was in the reverse direction due the event being unable to use the field), e.g. Brookfield Road > Eagle Brow > The Cross > Pepper Street
