In Pictures: Crowds gather to celebrate Beltain with burning of 40ft wicker man
Crowds gathered to mark the coming of summer with a traditional Celtic fire festival held at Butser Ancient Farm in Hampshire.
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 were in attendance, as were members of the Pentacle Drummers who performed in front of the burning wicker man.
