🌿 The English Ale returns in 2025 – a magical seasonal celebration set in the town of Mylor, nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, every May. This unique and enchanting autumn gathering honours age-old village customs and ritual traditions from Great Britain, aligned with the seasonal wheel of the year in Australia. 🍂

🎭 Step into a world of music, mumming, mythical creatures, and merry mayhem! Enjoy the spectacle of Morris dancing, towering giants, hobby horses, and guisers. Bring a mask and join the torchlight procession leading to the bonfire! Dressing up isn’t just encouraged – it’s part of the magic. 🌿 Unleash your inner Greenman, Fae, Viking, Warrior, or Wizard – paint your face and transform into the creature within!

🍗🌮 Delicious food and drink vendors will be on hand to keep you well-fed and refreshed.
