💚 May Day 2026 💛

What a fantastic day, a display of everything wonderful about the Ashover community.

Thankyou so much everyone for today it has been a whole village effort, much more than the May Day volunteer group themselves.
Thankyou to all the pubs and shops putting on extra and bringing in so much trade.
To every community group who ran and staffed stalls spreading the good word of their group.
To the church, village hall and bassett rooms teams for their hospitality.
Everyone who volunteered their time on a road closure.
To those who gave up their day to lead an activity on the field.
All performers young and old.
The countless local companies who donated equipment and raffle prizes and every single one of you who came out to support.

THANKYOU! Bigger and better for 2027!

If you have any suggestions for improvement or would like to be involved yourself please comment below.

Please make a note of the road closures for tomorrow’s event.

We will have volunteer marshals on the road closures if you have any questions.

🙏 Gazebos Wanted! 🙏
Calling out to our wonderful parish for help!
Does anyone have a gazebo we could borrow for Mayday please?
We are a couple short & are slightly worried about the weather.
We can pick it up & take care of it through the day & drop it back to you.
Please let Lucy know on 07976733607
Many Thanks
❤️
