Our Mummers’ Play
The World Premiere of the Boscastle Border Morris Mummers’ Play was performed in the outside space at the Cobweb – it would have been outside the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic but the weather was just too awful! Written especially for us by our Foreman, Lara, and costumed by our Wardrobe Wizard, Amanda, this is…

Camelford Winter Festival
in to accompany Santa down Camelford High Street as he arrived at the Camelford Winter Festival. Dancing down the hill using our processional dance to the Silver Band playing Christmas music – yes, we can dance to pretty well anything! Once down in the town we danced on an area of the road set aside…

Pudsey Day of Morris
The Pudsey Day of Morris is organised in Tavistock by Dartmoor Border Morris and this year they invited 16 sides to come an dance, including ourselves! A small panic first thing as our bus broke down before our Bus Wrangler could get to pick us up, but a few quick messages and we all found…

Boscastle Shanty Festival

Boscastle Harbour with Black Swan
A Sunday lunchtime out with Black Swan Border Morris was arranged for the day after the Tintagel Dark Gathering and we’re so glad it was. Dancing with Black Swan was a real pleasure, especially outside the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (our sponsor) and with such a large audience. It was a cold day but…

Apple Day at NT Pentireglaze
Dancing at NT Pentireglaze is becoming quite a regular event and we always enjoy ourselves there and receive a warm welcome. It had been a rainy day so there weren’t a huge number of people around but the rain stopped just in time for us to start dancing. We did two sets covering most of…

Borderlands Festival of Folklore
Launceston hosted a variety of events throughout the day, and we were invited to perform together with Order of The Geep in the afternoon. We all congregated at Southgate Arch and enjoyed a lively procession around the town following Kelliwik Golowi Band. We performed in turn with a variety of dances to an animated audience…
