SUMMARY:Morris into May...
DESCRIPTION:Morris Into May\nThe success of the 2025 event has led us to schedule it once more. \nAs the last vestiges of Winter are beaten back by the arrival of Summer\, we welcome warmer\, sunnier and altogether more colourful days. Join us for all the madness of May\, Beorma Morris and the Wild Man of the Wood… \nMerry Crafts\nIf you don’t quite have the chance to bring your own floral outfit\, then we have you sorted. In our Melon Ground\, from 11:30\, our wonderful volunteers will be showing you how to make and decorate your own willow crowns. Ideal for any Merry May event\, they will be the perfect headwear for the day’s happenings. Donations welcome. \nMerry Morris\, the Green Man and the May Monarch\nWhen you’ve had the chance to make your crowns\, Beorma will strike up at 14:00 with their Border dances to entertain you all. Then the Wild Man of the Wood will then introduce the folklore of May and its merry connotations\, before we gather for our Coronation procession onto the Archery Lawn. Here\, our chosen May Monarch will be crowned\, and the last of Winter chased away in true Border Morris fashion. \nIt’s a chance to indulge in a bit of Merrie Old England\, and welcome in the Summer\, all in the Merry Month of May! \nCome dressed in white and florals\, with head-dresses and all manner of folky accoutrements\, and you might just be chosen to be crowned as our May Monarch! \n \nEntry fees apply.
