SALT OF THE EARTH, a May Day celebration bringing together the best of folk culture, from music and art to morris dancing and craft workshops!
This winter’s been long and there’s still some way to go, but the days are getting brighter and the daffodils are poised ready to bloom – before you know it, spring will be here. What better way to celebrate than a specially curated folk festival in the beautiful town of Saltaire, featuring music both traditional and experimental, as well as appearances from morris sides and rappers (the sword dancing kind, not the hip-hop kind). We’ve also got art exhibitions, flower crown workshops, Hwæt’s Folklore Funfair, food stalls, a may pole, a Jack in the Green and more!
May Day was once one of the highlights of the year, when folks around the country would ‘go maying’ to celebrate the renewed season of life and light. So let’s keep this tradition alive – come maying with us this May Day Weekend.
May 3rd and 4th 2025
Caroline St Social Club, Saltaire
