I was able to glean this great article from http://www.enjoyengland.com and I realized England didn't lose it charms. Read on! 

Summer may not officially begin until June, but with the warmer weather upon us and England beginning to bloom, the May Day Bank Holiday is the perfect time to get out and about and enjoy the Morris dancing, street festivals and theatre taking place throughout the country.

Head to Rochester in Kent for a mix of traditional music and dancing where the Rochester Sweep's Festival takes place. The Jack-in-the-Green Festival in Hastings has a packed programme of live music, Morris dancing, craft fairs and English customs right through the weekend, culimnating in the Slaying of the Jack on Monday.

See in the summer with the merry men of the traditional morris dancers who will be performing in town centres up and down the country this May Day Bank Holiday. There's more music and dressing up at the Beltane Bash in London, which is the oldest Pagan Pride Parade in the world. Dress in green and follow the giants from Conway Hill around the British museum and back.

One of the oldest May Day celebrations still taking place is the Padstow 'Obby 'Oss in Padstow, Cornwall. Thousands of people come together for the meeting of the two famous Hobby Horses, the Old Oss and the Blue Ribbon Oss. Celebrations in Padstow officially start the night before at midnight, when groups of 'mayers' meet outside the Golden Lion Inn to serenade the owner with their Night Song.

They are just as traditional down in Gloucester where the annual cheese rolling races at Cooper's Hill must be among the most spectacular of all England's weird and wonderful customs and traditions. There is also the Tetbury Wool Sack Race - a gruelling competition run between two pubs in Tetbury - The Crown Inn and the Royal Oak. The race has been given world record status and involves competitors running in pairs and fours up Gumstool Hill through the village of Tetbury carrying a large sack of wool. Men carry a 60lb sack on their backs and women carry a 35lb sack. The gradient in parts is 1:4 so it is heavy going for even the fittest competitor.

If chasing bargains is more your thing then why not visit Kendal market, which on the May Day Bank Holiday goes mediaeval – expect over 80 stalls with street entertainment and stallholders in mediaeval costume.

If things do turn cloudy then don’t waste the opportunity to catch an exhibition or some live music. The Tate Modern is exhibiting a number of displays and Bath is hosting an international music festival. So from early to late, rain or shine, you can enjoy yourself more in England this May Day Bank Holiday.
