Garden energies, from sun to soil…
Join us for a joyful and exuberant May Day in the garden!
Mark the arrival of summer with family activities, outdoor workshops and creative happenings as we celebrate Beltane 2026. As the days get longer and warmer, the garden is buzzing with energy, and we can’t wait to revel in the spirit of summer.
- Explore solar energies in the garden with foraged plant-based photography
- Sing, dance and celebrate the magic of fruit and veg with The BarrowBand
- Learn how to care for the fertility of our land with a biochar demonstration
- Paint your face and weave a flower crown to honour the May Queen & the Green Man
A full programme of activities will be announced soon. Come along and explore, create and have fun with us!
Our event is a nod to the ancient fire ritual of Beltane, one of four festivals we host annually to create connections to the cycles of nature and to celebrate the turning of the Celtic wheel. During Beltane, the energies of the earth are at their most potent, bursting with life and growth. Expect a sprinkle of magic and wonder!
