[3] Curbar is situated a mile north of Baslow, close to Calver on the A623.

The village has a street (Bar Road) with the highest average house value in Derbyshire.

[citation needed] On the first of May, or as soon as possible thereafter, a tree-branch is brought into school and decorated with flowers by the children.

The Maybough is taken to various points in Curbar and Calver, where it is displayed to the accompaniment of songs and a dance.

The event was originally performed by the villagers rather than the school, the switchover taking place around the time of the First World War.
