“There are twelve months in the year, as I hear many folks say, but the merriest month in all the year is the merry month of May!”
Join us on Sark to welcome the merry month of May. Dress up to celebrate the blossom, the bluebells, the birds and the bees.
By day: a traditional summer fete
Our daytime festival has the feel of a classic island fete, and visitors are always struck by how family friendly it is. Expect fabulous activities for all ages throughout the afternoon, with more planned than ever this year. The day closes with a fire procession and the burning of the wickerman.
By night: ticketed evening event
As darkness falls, the party begins. Stomp along to a ceilidh, then dance on into a bedlam of brilliant bands, with local and international talent on the bill. The line-up will be announced over the coming months.
“Our next La Beltane is going to be bigger and better. The dream is that in a few years’ time, visitors will imagine we’ve been holding these celebrations on Sark for hundreds of years.”
