Although far from being a regular occurence it's not unknown to get wintry conditions in late April and early May, whereas by the end of May things should be warming up a bit.

I've read lots of posts from members who attended Eden Camp and everyone seems to have had a great time, but there were several mentions of how windy and nippy it was on the day.

Hi Andrew
I take on board what you are saying re the weather, there are however a couple of issues using the Whitsun/Spring bank holiday weekend at the end of May, being a school half term the cost of any accommodation will probably be higher and prospective venues tend to be less keen to turn over a large area of the car parking to group bookings because they are busier anyway and I have been turned away in the past at some venues when I explained that we dont all arrive in a coach..
Cheers Ian
