Village feast weekend under the White Horse with sports, a Mock Mayor and Mayoress, and a race up the horse.
These dates are based on when this event usually takes place and have not been confirmed by the organiser for this year. Please check before travelling.
Kilburn's feast has run since the 1600s and keeps its Mock Mayor tradition: a mayor and mayoress, both men, are elected on the Monday and tour the village fining people for imaginary offences. There is a fell race to the White Horse, sports on the green, a fair and a good deal of drinking. One of the last genuine village feasts in the county.
