1st September - World Record attempt - Moreton-in Marsh Show - Moreton in Marsh Gloucestershire
Moreton-in-Marsh Show has joined forces with local Morris Dance side-The Ilmington Traditional Morris Men- to organise an attempt for the world record for the Largest Morris Dance. They aim to attract around 500 dancers for the one dance - The Shepherd’s Hey - and have been inviting Morris Dance sides from all around the Midlands and Southern England to come along.
The attempt will be run to Guinness World Record Rules and will take place in the Grand Ring at 1.00 pm.
Many of the current Morris Dance sides have their roots in Cotswold traditions and this event is intended to raise the profile of Morris Dancing both locally and regionally.
This tradional agricultural show is going from strength to strength and is one of the best shows on the circuit.
Put the date in your diary.

The quiet countryside around Chipping Campden will shortly be buzzing with activity as the local village fete season swings into action.
Paxford village fete on the Saturday 7th July is closely followed by Ebrington fete a week later on the 14th July with the main events starting at 2pm.
Both events include traditional stalls selling cakes and cream teas along entertainment from Shipston brass band and displays of vintage and classic cars.
The Chipping Campden morris men will be dancing at Paxford’s fete while Ebrington will entertain audiences with a family dog show along with vintage tractors at Ebrington cricket field.
So, relax with a cool glass of something to drink and an ice cream while all around the village comes to life with community spirit to raise money for worthy charities.
Little Gidding B&B is located in Ebrington and is 1.5 miles from Paxford. If you would like to experience the unique spectacle of morris men dancing we would be happy to book you for a stay during one or both of these fetes.
