traditional meeting place to kit up

After Abram Morris Dancers, the young dancers from the local school perform in front of a capacity crowd at the Morris Dancers Ground

The King and Queen supervise the children's performance

Elsewhere the mobile Maypole with carrier is used

The team shelter from the sun by the hedge waiting to dance
At Brookside, there is time for refreshments...
...have a sit down...
...and grab 40 winks
Its a tough day walking between dancing spots...
...through the Jungles of Abram...
..across the Plains of Hindley..
...to the Desert  Oasis of Platt Bridge

The day after the last Saturday in June
