Hayfield ready to celebrate May Queen Festival

The bunting has gone up ready for Hayfield to celebrate the annual May Queen Festival, which this year has a Disney theme.

Residents and businesses have been busy decorating their houses, windows, gardens, streets, shops, pubs and even lampposts.

The events start tonight (Thursday) with the arrival of the funfair, which will be open every day until Sunday 14 May.

On Saturday, children from Hayfield Primary School will be May Pole Dancing on the arena at the Old School Field at 12 noon.

The popular parade takes place starting at 1.30pm before ending at the May Queen Field for further celebrations including the crowning of this year’s royalty. There will also be a variety of stalls both before and after the parade and further entertainment.

Then on Sunday there will be a Food and Music Festival for all to enjoy.

  • The signs they are a changin'

    It was the end of an era at Whitfield Community Centre this week as the old Derbyshire County Council signage was removed to make way for new ones. Whitfield Together, the group that bought the Centre for the community, is refreshing the Centre's image. Its new logo will soon go up on the front of the building. Gerry Dominey told us, "It seemed like a significant moment when we took the sign down. It was as if we were saying that the Centre is ours now and we can put our paw print on it. And that felt good."
