Alderley Edge May Fair

Saturday, 17th May, 2014 10:30am til 5:00pm

The fun will begin from 10.30am when bands will entertain the crowds on London Road ahead of the parade, which will set off from Chorley Hall Playing Fields at 11am.

Led by the Wizard and May Queens the parade will feature local children dressed in fancy dress, pipe and brass bands, cheerleaders and dancers, vintage fire engines and tractors, samba band, animals and many more.

It will travel down London Road, stopping a few times on the way to give people the chance to perform, before heading into the park where the May Fair will be declared officially open.

The afternoon's entertainment will start with the judging of the fancy dress competition, followed by a Town Crier competition.

Entertainment in the park will also include the Fun Dog Show and Tug of War organised by Bosley Tug of War Club. Teams of six will receive guidance ahead of this fun event and there will be prizes to be won for both adults and children.

There will also be a full programme of events right through to 5pm at both the Wizard's Arena and Golden Triangle Stage including a falconry display featuring a golden eagle and performances by the Alderley Edge Primary School Choir, samba band, Davyhulme Scouts Brass Band, Pepper Town Jazz Band, Flyball Dog Display and Sylk Dance Academy.

Visitors will also be able to enjoy the funfair, zorb balls, climbing wall, hockey, bouncy castles, petty animals, Punch & Judy, go-karts and many more attractions. There will be plenty of options when it comes to refreshments as well, supplied by local businesses, and a selection of craft and artisan stalls to wander around.

Free parking will be available on the day at the Chorley Hall Lane Playing Fields - just 50 metres from the park entrance. It is convenient, safe and friendly to local residents so visitors are encouraged to be good neighbours and not have to worry about getting a parking ticket.

Chorley Hall Lane, London Road and Ryleys Lane will be closed from 10.30am to 12pm on Saturday 17th May for the parade.
