Could it be  celebrating the launching of a ship?

So, Liverpool (Birkenhead)   Belfast   or Glasgow.

If you are going to use that criterion it could also be Tyneside  ::)  ::)

Wasn't sure if I should mention this because I could be sending people off on a wild goose chase, but this photo was in the same batch as the Hertfordshire cards.  However, there are also postcards from Norwich and a few other random places in this batch, so in reality, it could be anywhere.

Are the boy and girl  in centre back  supposed to be Mary and Joseph, and are they linking arms?

Cant see anything ship-related.

Might be a nativity play.

Lots of Schools called St Mary's, many of which linked to a Church of the same name. 

Probably a "Mission Impossible" as stated!!!  But I am sure we wont give up too easily!!

JUst been looking at St Mary's Shenfield (Essex) on google street view, comparing the pillar at the side of the old entrance way to the pillar on the left in the photo, but it is a different shape.

Farrington - Essex

I'd actually thought of it being some sort of Nativity production SB , seeing all the little ones that look to be dressed as Angels.

I thought they could be fairies Claire as they all have wands...I was thinking more panto than nativity but it's only a guess.

Yes fairies (never thought of those)- they all have wands :)
Could be a production of a Midsummer Night's Dream

The girl next to the boy in the top hat on the left looks to be holding an Orb or similar...some appear to be in national dress too.

Maybe it's my eyes but the boy between the lad in the bowler hat and the one wearing a hood looks to be covered with wooden beads.
