Braunston May Fayre Returns for a Day of Tradition and Charity
The village of Braunston-in-Rutland is preparing to host its beloved May Fayre on Monday, 4th May, promising a full day of family-friendly entertainment and community spirit. From 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, the village will come alive with a mix of traditional celebrations, live music, and interactive attractions, all while raising vital funds for local causes.
The event features a diverse lineup of entertainment, headlined by performances from the Uppingham Jazz and Soul Band and Parafinalien. Visitors can also enjoy the nostalgic charm of traditional Maypole dancing, a cornerstone of British spring celebrations. For those with four-legged friends, the Canine Fun Day & Dog Show is set to be a major highlight, offering a chance for local pets to take center stage.
The fayre is designed to offer something for everyone, whether you're looking for a thrill or a quiet browse:
Try your luck at the Tombola and Raffle, or join in the "Games on the Green."
Cheer on your favorite at the Duck Racing or enjoy the various fairground rides.

A wide selection of food and drink will be available to keep attendees fueled throughout the day.
