What to Wear and what to Bring:
Wear your most wonderful festival outfits
(if you don't have a wonderful festival outfit then seek guidance at your local fancy dress hire shop).
Bring drums, pipes, didgeridoos or whatever else you think will help us create a good Beltane vibe. Bring yourselves, bring enthusiasm, bring your creativity (and failing all that, bring Mead).
Camping for the Beltane weekend:
Camping is available at a location very close to Thornborough Henge for the Saturday and Sunday nights
at a cost of £3 per adult per night.

Helping out with the Event:
We are constantly in need of volunteers to help run this free event.
