Keeping the Old May Day Tradition

Posted by: | April 29, 2024

The month of April is quickly coming to an end, and Wednesday is May Day. Decorating a May Bush is an old tradition that our founder Danny Dowling (1927-2021) enjoyed. For a few years he acted as the judge of a May Bush competition in New Ross.

It is a simple process and children particularly enjoy it. If you carry on the tradition, wherever you are in the world, please send a photo. Please see some of our previous posts if you need a little inspiration….1 May 2022 and 22 April 2021. The photos below are from 2023.

Happy May Day!

    Heffernans of Aylwardstown always had a Hawthorn Bush on the shed wall in their yard. Great tradition.
