Have you booked for the long weekend in May yet? Extend your stay to include the 6th May and head to England and head up to Bedfordshire for the Ickwell Maypole Dancing festival.
The festival which has been an annual event since 1894 – though there is evidence of the festival as far back as 1560. Watch the May Queen being crowned – usually the prettiest girl in the village – and have a go at the dance, which isn’t as hard as it looks.
You can’t beat the atmosphere at this event – especially if the weather is kind.
