A TRADITION that can trace its roots back to the Middle Ages will be held in Kingsteignton this Bank Holiday Monday (May 27).

The annual King’s Teignton Ram Roasting Fair will be taking place at the town’s Oakford Lawn with gates opening for the event at 11.45am.

The day offers numerous attractions including the Tano Taiko drummers, dog show, magic show and circus skills workshops plus a host of stalls and side shows, and of course a roasted ram.

The crowning of the May Queen Ebony Bernard and her attendants Maggie Jones and Ariyah Syms will take place at 1.15pm and this will be followed by a display of maypole dancing.

Admission to the event, which last year raised more than £4000 for local charities, is £2.50 for adults and under-16s get in for free.
