May Day is Whitstable Lions' first big event of the year, when Jack-in-the-Green parades through the streets of Whitstable together with the Oyster Morris and their guests.  It heralds Spring and gets Whitstable's tourist season off to a great start.

May Day 2009 will be the first when we have not had the Castle as a base for our entertainments. Canterbury City Council are trying to find us an alternative sire whilst the Castle undergoes renovation and maintenance. It does seem likely we will have to run the events on the Tankerton Slopes but we will keep you informed as the plans develop. One thing is sure, there will be a May Day celbration and, as usual, there will be stalls selling a wide variety of goodies - to book a stall or for more information call
