Tomorrow’s quiz is looking good! We will sell tickets on the door if there’s space, but to be sure of a table get your tickets now! We’ve got prizes generously donated by @nomad_pizza_whitstable and @shepherdneame as well as some surprises 🌿 and you can also get your hands on this year’s Jack badge Wednesday 7.30pm, @dukeofcumberlandwhits #jackinthegreen #whitstablejack #whitstable #mayday #folk

Practicing dancing around Jack in the Green for Monday's @jackwhitstable celebrations! Pseudo-jack has not brought the Summer in, waiting for the real deal with great excitement 🧡🩵 #plantlife #mayday #ersatz #folklore

Here’s where you can find us next Monday 4 May! Diehard fans can follow us from the library along the route to the Horsebridge, harbour and castle, or you can find your spot on the way and wave us on! Either way get there early and enjoy the festivities :) Gorgeous map by @heather_w_illustration

A few tables left for our quiz on Wednesday! Link to get yours in our bio. All proceeds go to putting on the May Day celebrations and there’s great prizes thanks to local businesses! @dukeofcumberlandwhits

*Procession stewards needed!!* Stewards are a vital part of the Jack-in-the-Green celebrations, helping to keep the procession safe and moving to schedule. Can you help us by doing this role? You will need to be over 18 years old, reliable, and physically able to walk the whole length of the route from the library to the castle, sometimes moving up and down the procession to convey messages from one end to the other. You don’t need any experience in doing this kind of job, though it’s very welcome if you do. You’ll need to be comfortable taking instructions from the Events manager and conveying them to the dancers and musicians in an efficient and clear way. Most importantly, you will need to be free and able to be in Whitstable on Monday 4th May from around 9am until around 3pm. It’s a really fun job and we’ll provide all the training you need, a hi-vis vest, and fish & chips at the end! If you’re interested in finding out more, email Kerry or Laura at [email protected] or drop us a message here. #whitstable #jackinthegreen #folk #folkcustoms #folklore whatsonwhitstable mayday

Here’s the boys from Climax Ceilidh Band who’ll be playing for you on 1 Nov! OK well actually we’re swapping out Tom for Pip in a nonsensical ceilidh band mash-up situation but it’s all good, they’re all absolute masters of their instruments, play the tightest of tunes and they both have three letters in their name. Get your tickets now to guarantee your spot at the ceilidh! @whitstableumbrellacentre Saturday 1 November Link in bio :) #whitstablekent #whitstableseafront #whitstablecastle #whitstablemayday #may #mayday #maydaymorris #morrisdancing #music #folk #art #whatsonwhitstable #whatsoninwhitstable #whatsonkent #whatsoninkent #bankholiday #whitstablejackinthegreen #greenman #jackinthegreen #ceilidh
