Lymm May Queen is a traditional family highlight in the village calendar. Join us on Saturday 17th May for the Lymm May Queen Festival 2025, where there will be a procession through the village, leading up to the festival on the 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.
The selection of the Lymm May Queen, Rose Queen and the Retinue will be taking place on 8th February.
The Lymm May Queen festival is a fabulous, family oriented annual event held in the village of Lymm, Cheshire. The event, dating back to 1889, celebrates the tradition of crowning the May Queen and Rose Queen, who traditionally led the May Day celebrations. The May Queen festival really kicks off the summer of festivities in Lymm Village in style.
This year, the Lymm May Queen festival is being held on Saturday the 17th May 2025. All being well, we’ll be back on the May Queen Field this year!
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.
We’re always on the look out for more local businesses, groups and acts to join in the procession, so if you’d like to get involved and be part of the procession please contact us for details.
The festival continues with a Family Fun Day, with arena entertainment, crowning of the Queens, artisan craft, charity and community stalls, food & drink, family rides and games. As in 2024, we’re also excited to be bringing back the adrenaline inducing and family fun fair rides.
Lymm May Queen festival is made possible through the support of our local businesses. We’d like to thank our 2024 Gold Sponsors KipMcGrath and Burford Lane Vets, and our Silver Sponsors: Barrow Mix and Stag Kitchens for all their support.
