The chance to spend a little quality time with your family is a great motivation to taking a bank holiday break abroad. However, with such a short time with which to travel, you may wish to take a holiday close to home in the UK. The May bank holidays are still celebrated in a traditional style in many town and villages throughout the UK. Morris dancers, Maypoles and sporting events are enjoyed with gusto in many regions, from the traditional May Day celebrations in Whitstable and Rochester to the Guineas Racing Festival at Newmarket Racecourse and from the Spirit of Speyside Whiskey Festival to the Exmoor Walking and Cycling Festival in Devon. Wherever you wish to be for the May bank holiday weekends, finding excellent entertainment will be easy. See a selection of homes available during Early May Bank Holidays from 01/05/10 to 03/05/10

In the UK, May is blessed with two bank holiday weekends, and it seems a shame to spend those rare three day bank holiday weekends at home when there are so many fantastic places to escape to for a short break. The May Day bank holiday (Early May bank holiday) on the first Monday and the Spring bank holiday on the last represent the two bank holidays in May, with the actual bank holiday Mondays falling on the 3rd and 31st May in 2010.
