康沃尔的帕德斯托每年举办“Obby-Oss”节日(“木马”节的俚语)。这被认为是英国最古老的丰收仪式；饮酒狂欢者随着木马跳舞，穿过城镇的街道，甚至穿过居民的私人花园，他们身后跟着唱着传统的“五一节”歌曲、配带红色或蓝色饰带、着白衣的手风琴弹奏者。整个城镇都用春季的绿色植物装饰，而每年都有上万游人参加。在19世纪前，五一节那与众不同的五一庆祝活动就已经在整个西康沃尔地区举行了。

    In Oxford on May Morning, many pubs are open from sunrise, and some of the college bars are open all night. Madrigals (a setting for two or more voices of a secular text, often in Italian) are still sung from the roof of the tower of Magdalen College, with thousands gathering on Magdalen Bridge to listen. Traditionally, revellers have jumped from the bridge into the River Cherwell below as part of the celebrations. About one hundred people did this in 2005. The river, however, was then only three feet deep in places and more than half of those who jumped needed medical treatment, suffering injuries ranging from broken ankles and legs to back injuries and large gashes on the bottom of feet. As a result, the bridge itself was closed to the public during the 2006 celebrations. ......
