Crowds gathered to mark the coming of summer with a traditional Celtic fire festival held at Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire.
The experimental archaeology site in Waterlooville hosted the burning of a 40ft wicker man at dusk to mark the pagan quarter-day farming celebration of Beltane or Beltain, which has connections to later May Day celebrations.
The May Queen and Green Man were in attendance, as were members of the Pentacle Drummers who performed in front of the burning wicker man.
I think I might try and catch that one year - they did a Wicker Man burning the year In went to the Glastonbury Festival and it was amazing. In the sane event I got Spunked on by a man on stilts. At least I think that happened, I was still recovering from taking the strongest acid I ever had the previous day. Good times.
Well that paragraph was a journey!
If it’s a field in Hampshire May I suggest E’s and whizz instead?
It’s a traditional English combo.
