May Day Celebrations (Gift Aid)

Come along to Sarehole Mill and join in with our May Day celebrations on Sunday 7^th May.

The Ancient festival of Mayday was celebrated to mark the beginning of Summer and this year we will also be celebrating the coronation of King Charles III, which takes place the day before.

We have plenty going on throughout the day including.

• Wild Earth Movement will be hosting an eco-lantern activity, upcycling glass jars and giving them a new life before they end up in the recycling bin. Create a unique summer, May Day or coronation inspired lantern using different art techniques. All materials provided.
• Traditional and fun music throughout the day including folk-pop and sea shanties.
• Live folk music performances 
• The Mill will be open all day to explore at your own pace
