Holyport (pronounced Hollyport) is a suburban village in the civil parish of Bray (where at the 2011 Census the population was included), about 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Maidenhead town centre in the English county of Berkshire.
The name 'Holyport' originates from Old English horig + port meaning 'muddy market-town', although a local folk etymology holds that the village was a stopping-off point for pilgrims travelling from Canterbury to St David's.
[1] The village has a butcher, a newsagent, a grocery, a small café and a hairdresser as well as the post office and a doctor's surgery.
It draws large crowds from the surrounding area and it is understood 2020-21 are the only two years since the fair's inception that it did not take place - due to Covid.
Stirling Moss, the racing driver, lived in the village, and was a member of the Bray and Holyport Scout Group.
