Beltain is the ancient Celtic celebration to mark the beginning of summer, with music, dancing and the burning of the giant Wickerman. This sell-out event is the highlight of the Butser year and is the biggest fundraising event, attracting thousands of festival goers to welcome in the summer months while supporting Butser Acient Farm's work.
Each year, visitors can expect a fantastic afternoon/evening of entertainment and refreshments culminating with the burning of the Wickerman at dusk.
There will also be a real ale bar, Celtic mead and hot food available, including a hog roast, BBQ, Vegan Dhal stall and more.
