Beltane marks the beginning of summer when livestock were put out to pasture. Rituals were performed to protect cattle, crops and people from harm and to encourage growth during the summer months. Bonfires were lit, feasts prepared and offerings made. Flowers were used to decorate homes, cattle and byres.

Bring a blossom along with you to decorate the Crannog. Wild flowers and foliage will be on hand for garlands and crowns.

Booking essential for large groups, otherwise just come along and help us celebrate the start of summer!
