Leading the evening procession to welcome all to the Camp
Dolmen Drummers beat the the way
Gathered around the May Pole set amid the rolling hills of Dorset the energys of the land are called and welcomed.
The first fire of the camp is lit and the Beltane Celebration begins

 
Unable to conceal their overwhelming excitement
Everyone starts jumping for joy.

Friday night and everyone is gathered about the Fire singing, story telling and basicly have a jolly good time, Whilst in the back ground looming in the shadows the Wicca Man(although it looked more like a 20ft wicca bunny)

As the night progressed the pirates took to dancing with the little people
Whilst the Wiccaman (bunny) crept up on the unsuspecting smiling minstrels
Healing donations going to the Children in need fund

Dowsing workshop
By Frank Sumers

Archery by Scotish Olympic coach and title holder Steve Movely
And peaceful Meditation.
Building up for the Saturday night The Domen Band start an early set as the camp got ready for the big moment
And off they go calling the energy of the field
Whilst the kids give it attitude
And so are the the adults
Loose Moose served up wonderful baked spuds and smoked chiken
And the dance went on and on till suddenly
The time to keep the appointment with the WICCAMAN
(bunny)

Led by the Dolmen Drummers and The Pipes of Rigantona

The Procession began and as the circle of gathered spirits lay siege to the Giant so the Rebirth Fire was lit

As the flames tore into the night sky so the pipes and drums and chants filled the air.
Kirsty of the Poy workshop drew spirals of fire around the circle
And all the wishes for the Beltane were completed.
Blessed by all
