An explosion of colour, beauty, vitality and fun - the essence of Spring - this is Donna Maria’s Maypole.
Last May time Donna Maria’s maypole twirled and danced itself around the country performing hundreds of maypoles simultaneously with Donna Maria at the helm as Maypole Consultant for England as part of Mayfayresday. Culminating with a world record maypole dance, set at 24 hours non stop, a double achievement considering that the record breakers were all children.
Hundreds of live performances, workshops and tours involved thousands of children gathering around Donna Maria’s Maypole
Keeping the ancient tradition of maypole dancing alive and kicking with the dynamic Donna Maria, as the Princess of Colour, in pole position.
The Maypole wove it’s magic at show grounds, fayres and events all summer with her colourful spectacular. Bringing excitement and colour to hundreds of venues with tens of thousands of people becoming entwined.
Lively, colourful, children dancing with ribbons flying and the hundreds of children joining in with the dance always make Donna Maria’s Maypole a summer treat to remember - an unforgettable experience.

You are guaranteed a treat to remember, full of fun and excitement.

Performances range from workshops for children or teachers a your school to special events before the Queen.
And, from formal full costumed displays to have-a-go maypole workshops at your event.
