The experimental archaeology site in Waterlooville hosted the burning of a 40ft wicker man at dusk to mark the pagan quarter-day farming celebration of Beltane or Beltain, which has connections to later May Day celebrations
The May Queen and Green Man wre in attendance, as were members of the Pentacle Drummers who performed in front of the burning wicker man.
