About the event

Beltane Celebration on Dartmoor with Storytelling, Games, Dance and Ceremony!

A sacred and celebratory journey through the forest and by the river to the wild Hawthorn trees and striking huge rocks of Bench Tor! A playful, immersive experience to connect with the spirit of Beltane and our wild, beautiful land under the flower full moon, guided by Yannick Dubois and Anna-Lisa Drew.

**Overnight option - Limited to 20 tickets! Join us camping and around the fire on the private land by Yannick's Yurt on Friday and Saturday nights! More details below! **

Flowers, fertility, sensuality and delight!

Beltane celebrates the bountiful height of spring and the flowering of life! Embracing the element of fire and the spirit of passion it honours the coming together of the god and goddess in sacred union. The gateway to summer, the strengthening sun and bright, warm days ahead. The Hawthorn Tree assists us in opening our hearts to the magic and mysteries of Beltaine.

Saturday Celebrations

Our Saturday afternoon into evening celebration takes us on a journey through the forests, along the river (swimming optional!) to the grand rocks of Bench Tor. Expect joyful games, rich stories, playful dance and sacred ritual! A light dinner will be provided.

Arrive on Friday evening between 4 and 6 pm to a warm fire, light supper at 6 pm, hot cacao, stories and songs around 8 pm. Camp overnight on the land in your own tent or vehicle. Saturday morning activity and spending time together on the land.
