Totnes Christmas Market

  • the rotherfold totnes (map)

TIME TBC - Check back in here closer to the day!

Yes, it will be freezing. Our dancers’ legs will be seizing up in the delightfully predictable damp Devon winter cold. Our musicians’ strings and drum skins will be doing all sorts of weird and wonderful things in the frost and the hail. And yes, you’ll have just paid a reassuring £6 for a plastic cup of pre-mixed mulled “wine”, and have started to question some of your life choices.

….But then we’ll start to dance, and it will all make sense.

This is what the pagan/Christian/commercial hybrid monster that we call Christmas is all about. This is why you sat in Totnes traffic for an hour and then tried to park for another hour. You know I’m right. Just come.

(PS one year a nice man told us after watching us dance here that he had thought that morris dancing was naff until he saw us. If that doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will).
