Have a go!

We left Bath at the wee hours of the morning. Three train changes later, we arrived in Chepstow, Wales. What we didn't know when we were planning our trip is that we would arrive at the end of their annual festival. Here we found the Morris men and women in traditional costume roaming the streets and performing. One men's group practices weekly and invites men to come and "have a go."

The leader of the men's group would call out the next pattern that they would do. They were certainly lively!

This man was in a group that performed next to Tinturn Abbey. One of their dances involved waving white handkerchiefs and running around the audience in time to the music.I loved all of their hats! Notice the face paint on the last picture. There were several groups that had the all black face paint.
