Museum of East Anglian Life
May Day on Bank Holiday Monday May 3rd

The Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket is searching for a May Queen to be crowned at the Museum’s May Day Celebrations on the 3^rd May 2010.

The Queen will join a procession with the Lord and Lady of May and Jack-in-the Green, a mysterious figure seen all over the country until the 19^th century. They will walk from the 13^th Century Abbots Hall Barn up through the woodland walk to the May Queens throne where she will be crowned queen for a year.

If you are 12 or over please send a letter, or email, explaining in less than 100 words why should be the May Queen to The Museum of East Anglian Life, Stowmarket, Suffolk, IP14 1DL or enquiries@eastanglianlife.org.uk by the 23^th of April.

The Museum is also looking for people who have been a May Queen in the past. So if you were once a Queen of May please contact the Museum. Past May Queens will also be entitled to FREE entry to the Museum’s May Day Celebrations on the 3^rd of May if they bring proof they were once a May Queen.

Please contact Patsy Cane –  Office Manager – on 01449 612229 or enquiries@eastanglianlife.org.uk
