Join us for Portsmouth's biggest May Day celebrations, which this year will also be commemorating 100 years of Portsmouth's status as a city and 40 years of St Mary's May Fayre.

If you are an independent business, the May Fayre is a great opportunity to put your wares in front of new customers; each year we anticipate more than ten thousand visitors to the churchyard. Booking a pitch for your stall costs £55 before 1 April and £60 afterwards (or £50, then £55, if you are a registered charity). Please note that we have limited spaces and pitches are secured on a first come, first serve basis.

To book a stall, please complete the form below, email it to [email protected], and make payment for the pitch using the BACs details at the bottom of the form.
