About 25 teams of Morris dancers will to filter through the town on Saturday as part this weekend`s Horsham English Festival. The 25th annual Broadwood Day of Dance begins with a procession at 10.30am, the dancers will then disperse through the town to perform a variety of dance traditions including Cotswold Morris, Step Clogging, Border Morris, Appalachian Clogging, North West Morris.
At 3.00pm the day morphs into an open-air Barn Dance at the Carfax Bandstand which everyone is invited to join.
“Interestingly, The Day of Dance was originally intended to be a one off event to celebrate the 21st anniversary of The Broadwood Morris Men and also to make good use of the newly pedestrianised town centre,” recalled Dick Streeter, a long term member of the Broadwood Morris Men.
He went on to add: “The day was so popular that all the dance teams wanted to come back the following year. Ever since then this is now a regular annual event in the town centre.”
