Did You Know?
The current Banstead May Queen Group was originally started in 1985 by a dynamic local resident Pat Bryant. She gathered together a group of parents to form a committee to organise an annual event and raise some money, for the local community. Pat felt that a village as old as Banstead which dates back to doomsday would probably have had a May Festival with a May Queen. Pat and her committee could not have realised how popular this would become and how long the group would be sustained.
