Tudor May Day at Kentwell Hall

May Day was an important festival in Tudor times.

At Kentwell, daily life in Tudor England is brought to life by about one hundred of Living history specialists - come and join in!

See the May Queen and her attendants, help make garlands to decorate carts and people, join the procession, tie your wish on the May Tree and dance to welcome in the May.
