Upcoming events

The Maypole is delighted to present the amazingly accurate George Michael tribute act and impersonator Pete Valentine.

Pete has been perfecting his George Michael Tribute Show, entertaining sold out crowds all over the UK for over a decade, and his repertoire will keep the audience captivated and dancing all night long! A stunning performance, you will believe George Michael is in the room with you!

No pre-show dining available or table reservations, although hot nibbles are provided at this event. Please do not send messages or emails for ticket purchases as these will not be accepted.

Tickets are on sale – don’t miss out, GET YOURS NOW!

Ginny Tonic

Our very own Ginny Tonic is the alter ego of landlord Vince. Ginny is a fabulous diva with her own style, with a bit of singing and a wicked sense of innuendo style humour. Ginny lives by the mantra that ‘Quiz Nights are Fun Nights’ and our quizzes certainly are fun and very popular. We hold around six quizzes a year.

Ginny also occasionally hosts other special events, so keep an eye on our events pages.

Was very impressed with the amazing spread put on for a funeral I recently attended at the Maypole. Made very welcome and the place is very clean and has a lovely garden area. Would definitely recommend for functions, just a drink or a lovely meal.
