Crowds turn out in force to celebrate folk heritage in Horsham

Crowds turned out in force in Horsham on Saturday for the thirty-fourth Broadwood Day of Dance in a celebration of folk heritage.

The Broadwood Men and fellow Morris dancers started the day with a colourful procession from the end of West Street to the Carfax bandstand.

There followed dancing displays by around 20 Morris sides from across the south performing at various spots throughout the town centre.

It proved a diverse showcase of Morris styles, from the powerful, stick-clashing energy of Border Morris and the exuberant clog-stepping North West traditions to the iconic handkerchief-waving elegance of Cotswold Morris.

The event was organised by Broadwood Morris Men and Horsham District Council.
