Beltane Celebration Evening

Join The Lost Village of Dode to celebrate Beltane and the beginning of summer.

Traditionally regarded as being the beginning of Summer and also known as May Day, Beltane is one of the eight points celebrated in the Celtic Wheel of the Year, bringing us into the warm embrace of spring, we find ourselves on the cusp of Beltane, a time of fire, fertility, and celebration. It's a moment when the earth seems to breathe a sigh of relief, cloaking itself in vibrant colours and life anew. This Beltane, on the evening of April 30th join The Lost Village of Dode in embracing the beauty and warmth that this special day brings.

On the the 30th April at 6-30pm Dode celebrates Beltane Eve with drumming and dancing in the company of Wolfs Head and Vixen Morris, at the end of which the traditional Bale Fires will be extinguished in readiness for the following day.
The evening will be accompanied by a brief explanation of exactly what this time of year meant to our ancestors.
Let’s make this Beltane a memorable one, filled with warmth, laughter, and community.
Let's light the fires of celebration together!
