Magog Morris Dance at Christs Hospital – Come and see them at The Countryman on Tuesday 25th May at 6.30pm
Believe it or not, another bank holiday (31st May) is just round the corner, and to celebrate the May Festival we are holding a special event. Yippee!
Come to The Countryman pub and restaurant in West Sussex and celebrate May festival of dance on Tuesday 25th May at 6.30pm in our famous garden. We will get the garden party going with Pimms, a hog roast, real ales and a giant Paella! OK, we know that Paella isn’t actually a traditional English dish. Think of this as a cosmopolitan evening at a traditional country pub!
Did you know?
A morris dance is an English choreographed folk dance accompanied by music. The morris dancers use props including bells, sticks, swords, handkerchiefs and tobacco pipes.
Morris dancing dates back to the 15th century, and has been popular to day in both the UK plus other countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, Cyprus, France and New Zealand. There is even the Artic Morris Group in Helskinki and Stockholm.
It is refreshing to know that English tradition is still popular abroad.
We look forward to seeing you at The Countryman very soon!
