#1 BEST BELTANE IN THE BUSINESS

Celebrate our drop-dead-gorgeous Green Earth and the coming of the May. 

Create a participatory pageant with us to welcome in the Summer!! 

“Meditations on a May Morning” is for all singers, dancers and performers of every level to be part of a 40-strong May Day Spectacle on top of Haytor, Dartmoor.

SING, DANCE and MAKE  at this beautiful celebration high up on magnificent Dartmoor.

In elaborate and colourful lo-fi costumes that we will handmake together, we’ll learn folksongs round the fire (the good ones that are older than time), dance, camp overnight (if you’re feeling wild), then wake to the sound of the cuckoo.

WHEN: Wednesday 30th April - Thursday 1st May 2025.
