The Scuttlebrook Wake
When the May Queen arrives in the Square, she is crowned and then presents prizes to the follower with the best fancy dress. After this, local schoolchildren entertain the crowds with maypole dancing and country dancing, followed by another performance by the Morris Men.
For the rest of the afternoon and evening, it's all the fun of the fair in Chipping Campden. The sound of the fairground organ mingles with the strident music of the rides, and there are candyfloss and hot dogs to munch on as old friends who have returned for the fair mingle. Scuttlebrook has an atmosphere all of its own and people come from miles around to enjoy this annual event.
