Fernhurst May Revels - A traditional celebration since the early 1900s the Village comes together come rain or come shine to witness the outgoing May Queen, democratically elected by her peers, crown her successor.  The event starts with a procession of the current May Queen, her successor and their entourage and the fancy dress entrants through the village.  A short address and the blessing of the May Queen by the Vicar precedes her crowning followed by an enactment of St George slaying the Dragon in defence of his Queen.

Finally, the village schoolchildren dance around the Maypole and the fancy dress floats and entries in the procession are judged.  This signals the start of the Revels and the Village Fete commences offering a mix of traditional games, modern stalls and a variety of entertainments.   Traditionally the outgoing and incoming May Queens and their families take tea together during part of the afternoon with many previous May Queens joining (who travel from far and wide) the new May Queen each year.  There can be up to 70 plus years between the oldest and the youngest May Queen present at the tea.
