About
May Day, also known as 'Bealtaine', is one of the most important days in the Celtic calendar and marks the returning of light. This day is full of traditions, superstitions and tales of mischievous fairies! At this time of year, the hedgerows, woodlands and verges of the Ulster Folk Museum are bustling after the long winter months.
Visit our exhibition houses adorned with yellow flowers to fend off the fairies, tie a ribbon on the fairy tree for luck and listen to folklore tales. Watch craft demonstrations by our talented makers, listen to traditional music and make your own flower crown with Sow Grateful made with flowers grown on their local nature-friendly flower farm (while stocks last).
