The pictures here give only a small flavour of this major event, which packs the town from the starting procession on the Friday evening through to the last jig on the Sunday evening – leaving all with sore feet and buzzing heads! Saturday and Sunday are busiest – when the streets around the small town centre are filled to capacity with Morris dancers, musicians and and a throng of appreciative spectators.
