A time to give gratitude and thanks to the fertility of Spring, festivities start on the eve of May 1st with big beautiful bonfires representing life and honouring the sun. May 1st brings girls with flower crowns, dancing around the maypole – but there will be no such gatherings this year. Beltane is also considered a time when the veil between worlds is thin as with Samhain therefore, a magical and powerful time.
May Day is traditionally held on a Monday but will be put back to Friday 8 May 2020 to coincide with VE Day 75th anniversary celebrations.
