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.
The Players will perform their May Day play of St George and the Dragon - watch, enjoy, boo and cheer!
The festivities take place against the background of everyday Tudor life from the gentlefolk, to the cooks and artisan craftspeople.
