Lymm May Queen is a traditional family highlight in the village calendar. Originally known as Lymm & Oughtrington Bank of Hope Festival, the first ever crowning was held in 1889. At that time the Queen was chosen from various Chapels in turn. The very first Queen was Miss Amy Astley from the Congregational Church. Join us on the 18th May 2024 Lymm May Queen Festival where there will be a procession starting at 12pm leading up to the festival on Lymm May Queen field, with children’s rides, a variety of live acts in the May Queen arena, stalls and food & drink for everyone to enjoy.
A highlight of the day is the procession through the village. The procession consists of floats, bands, drummers, dancing, vintage vehicles and with many local schools and organisations taking part.
Starting at 12noon, the procession runs through the village from Brookfield road, going down Eagle Brow through the village and leading up Pepper Street and into the Lymm May Queen field where the festivities continue.
