Did you know May Day has roots in pagan Anglo-Saxon customs and the pagan festival Beltane, which marks the beginning of summer.

Typically, on May Day villages and towns across the UK now mark the beginning of springtime fertility.

This would usually be celebrated with large gatherings of communities, villages holding fetes and other fun activities. The May Queen is also crowned on May Day, and often sees local schoolgirls compete for the crown in honour of Flora, the Roman goddess.

But where does maypole dancing come into all this?

Maypole dancing is another tradition celebrated on May Day, and is seen as a way of saying farewell to winter. Even though summer does not begin until June, May Day is a celebration of things coming to life.

Enjoy your weekend.

Cumbrian bed company teams up with Age UK and Eden Flood Volunteers to help those affected by floods in the region

Cumbrian bed manufacturer, Sealy UK is spearheading a campaign to support residents affected by the devastation of the region’s recent flooding – teaming up with local organisations, Age UK and Eden Flood Volunteers.

Following its involvement with the immediate relief efforts when flooding hit the region back in December 2015 providing much-needed supplies, Sealy is now helping residents as they prepare to return to their homes.

The company has made a donation of bed frames and mattresses, worth up to £40,000*, to the two organisations, which will each allocate the items to residents in the community who desperately need them. Sealy is also urging other local businesses and furniture manufacturers to follow suit and pledge their support to those affected in the region.

Neil Robinson, Sealy’s Sales and Marketing Director, said: “We’re a Cumbrian company, based in Aspatria and the flooding appeal is very close to our hearts. Many Sealy colleagues and their friends and family members have been directly affected by the terrible weather conditions we experienced not only in December last year, but on several subsequent occasions, the results of which have been absolutely devastating each time.

“We’ve supported the efforts in any way we can, with a donation to the community foundation, providing supplies and catering for rescue teams and now, teaming up with Age UK and Eden Flood Volunteers, to help residents return to homes. These organisations help those in need in the community every single day and we’re incredibly pleased to be able to support them with their efforts.

“We are aware how many others have been playing their part when it comes to this important cause, and we would absolutely love to see businesses in our community continuing the great work to help those affected to get their houses back in order.”

Joan Bailey, Information and Advice Supervisor at Age UK Carlisle, said: “During our work with the community we’ve experienced first-hand some of the damage caused by December’s floods. It is incredibly disruptive, especially to elderly residents who may spend a lot of time in their homes and rely on the support of others to get these homes repaired.

“The flooding didn’t only impact on the ground floor of the houses affected, but the resulting damp has damaged rooms and furniture on the higher levels too; the mattresses will therefore be absolutely vital. We’d like to thank Sealy for its kind donation from us here at Age UK and the community members these items will go to.”

Alan Bennett at Eden Flood Volunteers, said: “We are extremely grateful for Sealy’s generous offer of support during what has been a very difficult time for the community. It’s fantastic to see a local organisation really caring about the residents in the region and the mattresses will go a long way to helping people return to their homes.”

*Total donation value from Sealy UK will be a maximum of £40,000 (RRP), though may be less, depending on the value of specific mattresses and bases selected by recipients.

To announce that we are now stocking Sealy Beds we are offering one lucky person the chance to win a new state-of-the-art mattress.

Sealy is the biggest bed brand in the world and has been steadily growing for over 100 years. They can trace our origins back to the late nineteenth century and the original cotton-filled mattress produced by Daniel Haynes in the town of Sealy, Texas.

In 2013 Sealy Inc merged with Tempur in the USA to create a company that operates in over 50 countries worldwide. Their beds and mattresses can be found everywhere from Canada to Japan, from Brazil to South America and from South Korea to here in the UK where we have operated for the last forty years.
