Claverham's showpiece event of the year proved hugely popular, despite chilly temperatures.
Maypole dancing, a procession and a dog show made for a hugely entertaining afternoon at the village hall.
Court de Wyck Primary School ran a fundraising raffle stall, while May queen Jessica was also crowned.
However, not everything went according to plan.

Ms Smith said people had made off with 450 rolls, without paying, forcing organisers to go to supermarkets to pay for more.
