Hi ,

Who doesn't love a long weekend? Luckily, we can enjoy a long weekend this weekend as Monday 1st May is May Day.

Why do we celebrate May Day? May Day is an ancient spring festival in the northern hemisphere that is a traditional spring holiday in many cultures with dancing and singing taking part of the celebrations.

The origins and celebrations of May Day have a rich history, and the earliest May Day celebrations are thought to have occurred during the Roman era when children would celebrate the coming of spring with a day of dancing dedicated to the goddess Flora.

Are you looking for something to do this weekend? There may not be many maypoles in Walsall, but there are loads of great events taking place - click here to look at our events page.

Whether you're planning on having a BBQ or want to start undertaking some DIY around the house this bank holiday, we have the perfect businesses for you. From butchers and restaurants to painters and decorators and architects, we have a fantastic wealth of recommended local businesses that can help you get the most from your three day weekend.
