White Horse Folk Festival

The White Horse Folk Festival is a small folk festival that takes place every year in locations in and close to the festival headquarters in Grove.

The day starts with a group dance on the top of the Uffington White Horse. We were one of the six sides that ascended the top to bemuse the various walkers and other visitors.

As you can see, the morning weather was a a little restrained for August.

The day finished with a massed dance in Grove. By this stage the cloud layer had burnt off, and it was decidedly hot and sweaty by the end.
