Dear May Heydays Supporters, old and new
We are very pleased to announce that we can now confirm the catering
arrangements for May Heydays 2025.
It has been a bit of a rocky road; we learned last autumn that the prior
onsite company had lost the school contract and a new one was taking
over. For some time, it was unclear whether they would provide a service
or allow a 3rd party into the kitchen to do so. It was only in February
that the answer came as ‘no’.
So, with the help of an experienced consultant, we sought mobile
caterers to come in and give us a range of options from Friday evening
to Monday afternoon. Their detailed menus are now on the new catering
page of our website:
(https://mayheydays.org.uk/food.html).
In summary, we have:
Friday night: “StarChip Enterprise” – the local Evesham supplier, Jeff
Warren (who appeared outside the gates in 2023), with award winning Fish
& Chips, plus other options.
Saturday: “Eat Greek” – with a company based in Worcester, Vicky and
Demetrios will provide ‘mythically delicious Greek food’ for lunch and
dinner.
Sunday: “Bowlicious” – hailing from Wales, John Ishmael, a seasoned
festival caterer, will provide ‘flavoursome food on the go’ for
breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Saturday and Sunday: “Really Awesome Coffee”, with Brad Edginton, will
be on site from 9am up to about 5pm, providing ‘real’ coffee, some teas
and a range of other drink options plus assorted cakes.
Monday: “StarChip” will be back.
All concessions will have some GF, veggie and vegan options, but note
that there will be no breakfast caterer on Saturday and Monday.
On Friday and Monday our stewards will staff stations to provide teas
and coffees.
We are well aware it will never be possible to please everybody when
selecting the food options and we have done our best at relatively short
notice. Do please use our caterers as much as you can and give us and
them your feedback. Our aim is to have ongoing relationships with a
range of suppliers so both we and they know what to expect over the
coming years.
Many thanks – and here’s to seeing a festival-ful of you on the dance
floors in May.

MHD Ticketing and other stuff
PS: as we switch our supporters' email lists over from the set up used
previously to that provided by our now ticketing website, some of you
may receive two copies of this mail. Please bear with us, on the basis
that 2 copies are better than none......
