The dance programme for 2010 is nearly complete; expect to see some great bands, callers, Morris and display teams.

Bands booked so far:-

• the legendary Tickled Pink with Martin Harvey as caller
• some Devon cheer with The Dartmoor Pixie Band, who will also be bringing some of the unique Devon dance traditions with them
• the youngsters taking the festival scene by storm, Toothless Mary

As well as the lively evening ceilidhs in the dance marquee, there’ll be a family ceilidh and something from an overseas tradition as well as the Shropshire ceilidh showcasing a band from the area demonstrating the richness of the local dance scene.

The dance marquee will also be the venue for dance workshops. We have had requests over the past couple of years to expand these and we’re planning to bring a wide range of styles and disciplines to the floor.

Invitations have gone to some of the top Morris sides in the country. The Morris teams bring colour and sound to the streets of the town as well as to the festival site. Details of these will be posted in January.
