*The England that only the English know*
Although most probs, has some Celtic/Pagan Roots,
An amazing and primal tradition

Great video.

Good quality footage and a nice mix of sides dancing. A pleasant reminder of a weekend that passes far too quickly. Thanks for posting this on UA-cam.

My pleasure. I only made it for the Saturday, but had a wonderful time.

Fantastic! It would be great if you invited the Britannia Coconut Dancers from Bacup to you next parade.👍

This festival has a lovely feel of May day Beltane and Mardi Gras combined, but in midwinter, complete with Morris dancers and the burning of the Wickerman. What other reason can you dream up as an excuse to drink beer and make noise? Wonderful!
