Following Santa (the real one!) down the High Street was fun using our processional dance in time to carols and Christmas songs from the town silver band.

St Mabyn Inn, 2024
A very hot day which could have made it difficult to dance but fortunately the heat had gone from the sun by the time we got to the St Mabyn Inn – mind you it was still a hot one! In the end, all we had to contend with were the church bells which played…

Adding some extra rainbows and colours to our style we joined up with the gathering on the triangle and, after some jiggling of positions, we went off near the front of the parade, just behind the Mayor’s…
