SPAW SUNDAY MIDGLEY YORKSHIRE UK

Spaw or Spa Sunday is a celebration held on the first Sunday in May, when the village wells are decorated prior to the days events by local residents and school children. A Spaw or Spa is simply a mineral spring said to have heath-giving properties. In 2019 about 50 local people attended and walked for about 1.5 hrs visiting all twelve village wells. Traditional Dock Pudding with a bacon buttie sandwich are served in the community hall after the walk. Midgley, Yorkshire, England 12th May 2019.
