Many May Day activities have now been moved to the May Day bank holiday (from 1978) on the first Monday in May, which is a public holiday. 

British people celebrate May Day with lots of different customs:

MAYPOLE (五朔节花柱) DANCE

On the first day of May, English villagers used to wake up early in the morning to collect flowers and leaves. A maypole was set up in the village. The pole had leaves and the bright flowers that people had collected on it. Today people still set up maypoles, dance round them and have a good time together.

MAY QUEEN (女王)

Choosing a May Queen is also part of the celebration. The May Queen is a girl who begins the May Day celebrations. She is usually given flowers to wear on her head and she makes a speech before the dancing begins. People dance around her and around the maypole.
