The wooden maypole in Barwick 86 feet (26 m) high and made from two larch trees and spliced together. The triennial maypole festival held every three years, when the maypole is lowered, inspected, maintained and re-erected. The festival celebrations include a procession involving floats decorated by local organisations children's maypole dancing, morris dancing and the raising of the maypole. The garlands are shown around the village the evenings before. Traditionally the maypole was lowered and raised manually using an intricate system of ropes and ladders. The maypole is carried by hand from Hall Tower Hill to the heart of the village. During the raising ceremony, it is tradition for a local villager to climb halfway up the pole to disconnect the guide ropes. The climber is then spurred on by a large crowd to climb all the way to the top of the pole, to spin 'the fox' weather vane, a custom thought to bring good luck to the village.
