An important part of the Wokingham May Fayre is the live entertainment.

From local theatre groups to live musicians, there is something for everyone.

Will it snow at the May Fayre? 

And this year there is something extra-special – to help celebrate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, a performance of A Midsummers Night Dream.

Add in magic, Punch and Judy, morris dancing and may pole dancing, it’s going to be a terrific and memorable day.

Get ready for a day of fun at the Wokingham May Fayre

Here’s a handy guide to what you can see when and where.
