Looking further afield, we have a clear contender for t' most extreme extension of 1st of May Week. Under the dome along with @botrhb@mastodonapp.uk, #Fylingdales School, just down t' road from #RobinHoodsBay, is holding its annual #MayDay celebration with #MaypoleDancing on 2026-05-20. #YorkshireCoast #NorthYorkshire

A special poor substitute for a @lindasgoluppiart@mastodonapp.uk #SlowLife task, today. Find out how many people and places are celebrating the 1st of May Week today, holding #MaypoleDancing and #MayDay Fêtes. Because of @ancientsounds@mastodonapp.uk and @keefeglise@mastodonapp.uk , I now know of events today in #Southam in Warwickshire and #Hornton in Oxfordshire. https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/116515211027944243 Alas, it seems that nothing at all happens all month in #Northamptonshire.

People in #Worcestershire celebrated the 1st of May Week back in April, this year. You've got to be on your toes for #Hallow. https://hallowparishcouncil.gov.uk/event/hallow-maypole-dancing-event-4pm-thursday-30th-april-2026 #MayDay #MaypoleDancing

@HollieK72@mastodonapp.uk Quite a few 1st of May Week celebrations are today. https://mastodonapp.uk/@JdeBP/116498670858171433 #MayDay #MaypoleDancing

@ancientsounds@mastodonapp.uk That's because #Warwickshire celebrates the 1st of May either earlier or later than the rest of the world.

It's not a day any more. #HillCloseGardens #Warwick #MayDay #MaypoleDancing #RadfordSemele

@ancientsounds@mastodonapp.uk Two of the major forces that have led to Guy Fawkes Night being smeared out into #GuyFawkesFortnight are (a) Diwali, and (b) the desire to have family friendly celebrations, and the accommodation to the working week, that leads to people scheduling things for the nearest weekend rather than on the exact day itself. Looking at all of these events, it seems to me that (b) is also making #MayDay become 1st of May Week. #CoventryCharterhouse has celebrated as late as the 6th in years past, according to what I can find. Next Monday is, of course, a Bank Holiday. https://leicestermuseums.org/Guildhall100th #Leicester #LeicesterGuildhall #MaypoleDancing

@ancientsounds@mastodonapp.uk The little-known Mediaeval city of #Coventry also celebrates #MayDay Week, on Sunday this year at #CoventryCharterhouse. https://nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/warwickshire/coventry-charterhouse/events/7dc07151-319b-49b4-8da8-69bda4306add But #Warwickshire is determined not to be out-extended by Coventry. In #Southam this year, the 1st of May Fête, on Coventry Street, is next Monday. (-: https://southam.co.uk/events/may-day-fete-2/ #MaypoleDancing
