Beltane, the Gaelic festival to mark the beginning of summer, was celebrated at the farm on the evening of 30th April. This is the sixth consecutive May Day Eve that we have held this community celebration on the farm, and it improves every year - this year we used the cob roundhouse to lay the food out in instead of a tent, were treated to live musicians plus a choir, and even had some variations on the traditional maypole dance! More than fifty people came to the farm, and were treated to good weather and a beautiful sunset.
