May Day 2021

An informal gathering of Jack Turner and five socially-distanced friends took place in Crown Square to 'celebrate' the tradition of May Day in Wheatley on the 2021 bank holiday. Jack Turner sang one of the traditional songs and Pat Jeffs performed a few Morris steps.

Afterwards the group processed to the village pit where they dance around an imaginary maypole!
