    As spring reaches its height, May 1st has long bee As spring reaches its height, May 1st has long been marked across the British Isles as both Beltane and May Day. Two intertwined traditions celebrating the turning of the seasons and the beginning of summer.

In the Gaelic world, Beltane (meaning “bright fire”) was one of the great seasonal festivals. Bonfires were lit on hilltops, and homes were decorated with blossoms and greenery to welcome fertility and growth into the land and community.

Alongside these older rural customs, May Day developed into a wider celebration of spring across Britain and Europe. Communities gathered for feasting, dancing and revelry - even to this day, you can find maypoles which stand all year round across the country as a lasting symbol of May Day’s importance in British tradition and heritage.

Today, Beltane and May Day continue to be celebrated, honouring both ancient seasonal cycles and the joy of light returning to the world.

May Day is celebrated in Rutland with the Dawn Dance of the Rutland Morris, this unique event takes place at sunrise showcasing the vibrant spirit of Rutland and its enduring connection to these ancient customs.

    Rolling hills, busy hedgerows, wildflowers swaying Rolling hills, busy hedgerows, wildflowers swaying in the breeze and the gentle hum of nature - there’s something quietly magical about the English countryside in spring.

Today marks St George’s Day, a celebration of all things quintessentially English. The day has been observed for over a thousand years, honouring Saint George, best known for the legendary tale of slaying a dragon, a story that symbolises courage, hope, and resilience.

It’s a day to celebrate not just history, but the simple beauty of this land, where every footpath offers something new and every horizon draws the eye.

    Today is National Curlew Day so let’s celebrate on Today is National Curlew Day so let’s celebrate one of the UK’s most distinctive and characterful birds!

With their long, curved bills and wonderfully atmospheric calls, the Eurasian curlew is a real highlight of wetlands and open landscapes.

If you’re near Rutland Water, you’ve got a great chance of experiencing them at their best during spring and autumn, when they pass through on migration. You’ll often spot them around the lagoons and grassy edges, feeding or resting. 

Listen out for their famous call, a wild and evocative sound that carries across the landscape.
