Visitors to Beacon Park have been taken back in time.

Bank Holiday Monday saw hundreds of visitors enjoy maypole dancing, croquet, hoopla and a coconut shy.

There was also a traditional Punch and Judy show to keep youngsters entertained.

Councillor Andy Smith, Lichfield District Council’s cabinet member for leisure & parks, said: “Beacon Park was packed over the Bank Holiday weekend and the Victorian May Day event was especially busy.

“It was a chance to celebrate May Day in a traditional way, reviving pastimes for the whole family to enjoy.”
