Celebrating May Day in Padstow

Available for over a year

Thousands of people are in Padstow for May Day, to celebrate the end of winter and the coming of summer. There is the Blue or 'Peace' Oss and the 'Old' or Red Oss, which dance through the streets accompanied by drums and accordion music. Local people dress in white, with red or blue neckerchiefs and scarfs depending on their family's alliance. James Churchfield has been watching the celebrations.
