| May Day celebrations in Ickwell are recorded from the
1560's. Its current form with the plaiting of ribbons and a May Queen
began in 1894 and has continued with very little interruption up to the
present day. For further details click on the
History link. The day consists of a procession and presentations in an arena around the maypole on the lovely and traditional setting of Ickwell Green. After the elected May Queen is crowned, both children and adults who are former pupils of the parish schools (known as the Old Scholars) perform the maypole dancing.
