Chester Folk Festival
Friday 23rd May - Monday 26th May 2008

Displays

Our usual stalwarts, without whom no Chester Folk Festival would be complete - Chester City Morris Men, White Hart Morris Men and Bradshaw Mummers, are this year joind by The Witchmen - morris from the Daarkside, where pagan ritual dance meets street entertainment. Their dances are based on traditional border morris, but they have mutated that style to create dances which are exiting, entertaining and relevant to 21st Century audiences.
For Saturday's display we will be joined by some of the children from Elm Class at Kelsall Primary School, with their teacher Katie Hetherington. They have been learning some folk dances in their PE lessons this term, including one they have made up themselves.
We will also be joined on Sunday by traditional Welsh dance group Dawnswyr Delyn from Mold.
