May Bank Holiday Breaks 2010

Get the most from your bank holiday weekends in May!

May Bank Holiday Breaks 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.

The actual origins of the May Bank Holidays, especially May Day, are somewhat unclear, originating in pre-Christian Europe, yet adopted to mean many things to many people. The May Bank holiday celebrations are now usually seen as the start of summer, providing a chance to rid you of the winter blues over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

There are many options for taking bank holiday weekend breaks, with many of our holiday home owners happy to take short bookings over bank holidays if you do not wish to take a full week off work after the bank holiday Monday. 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.
