Celebrating spring at May Fayre in Middleton-on-Sea
It has become a tradition for spring to be celebrated on Shrubbs Field, in Elmer Road, with a fayre and maypole dancing but the church and church hall are always on standby in the case of bad weather. Stalls were set up inside this year, so people could browse in comfort.
Spirits were not dampened, however, and the fayre began with the annual crowning of the May King and Queen.

The Rev William Marston, vicar of St Nicholas, said: “There was a very lively fayre, as plants, jewellery and gifts were sold.
“A bottle tombola was complemented by a raffle with some handsome prizes.
“Tasty burgers and hot-dogs, along with delicious cream teas, were enjoyed by many people.
