Beltane Fire Festival
Location Date Tickets
What started in 1988 as a word-of-mouth cult event has grown into a major festival that attracts 12,000 late-night revellers. A revival of ancient Celtic pagan tradition, Beltane ushers in the spring with teams of semi-naked drummers daubed in coloured paint, various dancing characters and the ritualistic lighting of a massive bonfire. Expect even more ebullience than usual as the festival celebrates its 25th anniversary.
