Moulton Village Festival

Mon 12 - Sun 18 May 2025

 Every year in mid May, Moulton Village hosts its annual Village Festival.  Moulton Morris have always been closely associated with the old custom of crowning a May Queen

Morris sides from all over the country arrive to decorate the May Cart with flowers  and form the procession round the village up to the crowning ceremony.  In addition, there are stalls, concerts , dancing displays and other activities.  This year the visiting sides were Belle D'Vain, Berkshire Bedlams, Chelmsgord Ladies, Mortimers, Queens Oak & The Witchmen

Here are some pictures from the 2025 weekend:
