Event Description
Join me to discover the interesting history behind Morris Dancing in the UK and beyond. We will see a local group as they perform at various significant events during the year including the traditional Wassail ceremony, St George's day Mummers' plays, New Year festivities and especially the celebration of the summer solstice on nearby Highdown Hill and ancient burial ground so very appropriate for this pagan festival. We will look at their unique outfits, the musicians in their bands and meet the bag man/lady.
