It may not be as hugely popular as it has been in the past, but May Day is still a much-loved event in the UK and as such, various towns, villages and cities will be celebrating it in some form, generally in the form of a mini festival for the day! You can\u2019t hold an event without having some entertainment but what sort of things are out there for May Day entertainment? Well fear not, because we have put together five fantastic May Day entertainment ideas<\/a> for you to try next year!<\/p>\n

Layla Rosa<\/p>\n

Not exactly a traditional form of entertainment for parties or events<\/a>, but an absolutely stunning one all the same! This act is a stunning revolving freestyle aerial rig on which two multi-skilled acrobats perform. It\u2019s a beautiful and elegant choreographed circus show or ambient performance.<\/p>\n

Morris Dancers<\/p>\n

May Day entertainment ideas<\/a> don\u2019t come much more traditional than this \u2013 hiring morris dancers for your event. A tradition that dates back hundreds of years, morris dancers are hugely popular to watch and enjoy, despite at there always being one curmudgeon who moans aloud at their jolly dancing. So get your handkerchiefs, sticks and bells ready for the perfect example of May Day entertainment.<\/p>\n

Rachel Haywood<\/p>\n

\u2026and the music just keeps coming! Rachel is perfect for a summer entertainment idea, which makes her a brilliant choice if you\u2019re looking for May Day. We confess that May isn\u2019t (strictly speaking) the summer, but what\u2019s the harm in pretending? She is fab musician who provides pan music for a more up tempo set depending on what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n

Garden Games<\/p>\n

Come on now! It wouldn\u2019t be May Day without a little outdoor fun! From quoits to chess and huge versions of Connect 4 and jenga, there\u2019s sure to be something to entertain kids of all sizes (including the 30-year-old ones amongst us). We\u2019ve also recently seen and enjoyed a fantastic version of Battleship, which utilises binoculars and a bit of dress up. How else would you fill the village green?<\/p>\n

Belly Dancer<\/p>\n

Ok, so traditionally you would never see a Belly Dancer at a May Day celebration but why not dare to be different and Hire the wonderful Tara Lee. Tara is a professional belly dancer, she performs and teaches both modern and traditional belly dance styles. She also performs Arabic folk dance as well as the whirling dervish. So if you wanted to hire her for a class at your event or just book her to entertain all your guests, then Tara is certainly your girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
