An annual May Fayre takes place in Covent Garden today, organised by Alternative Arts will be held in the churchyard of St. Paul’s Church, Covent Garden, it offers a procession around Covent Garden, Punch and Judy performances, and, we are told, a special church service with Mr Punch in the pulpit at the church.
There will also be workshops, stalls and folk music, all with a puppetry theme, in a tradition held to coincide with Punch's birthday earlier this week on May 9th, the date when Samuel Pepys first recorded seeing Mr Punch in England.
