May Day Fair

2004

The weather this year was not kind to the Rotary Club of Leighton-Linslade who organise this event for the Town. Rain which was very heavy at times was the feature of the morning only brightening up after lunch for about 2 hours.

 

The focus of the event is the High Street which is closed for the day and lined with stalls representing many local charities for whom this annual event has become a major fund raising event. The west end of the High Street is taken up with a number of Fun Fair rides for all ages and is a real magnet for the youngsters. The east end has the music and other group entertainment with The Heath Band performing along with other groups .

 

The Church Square in front of the War memorial is also used with this year a small electric Go-Cart circuit and the All Saints Preservation Trust Christmas present stall.

There are also a few horses shown in the square.

The final location for attractions is the Town Centre Park where again there are attractions and demonstrations such as the falconry show and the Canoe Club fitness tests. Unfortunately as a result of the rain the skate board competition could not take place and this will now happen latter in the year.
