The Abbots Bromley Horn Dance is one of the more unusual local traditions.

It takes place every September but this year the Horn Dancers agreed to put in an extra, early performance, as part of a charity village festival.

The Express & Star video team was on hand to record the action.

    Good for them! Hope they keep it going. This was around a long time before christianity.

    It was a superb day. The charity event was well organised and a tribute to all involved, especially Ed. The Horn dancers were a delight to see – but the poor soles were exhausted at the end – may have had something to do with the mixture of beer and hot weather! Well done to Mark and Bryony, two talented youngsters from the villager, who entertained people with acoustic numbers for most of the day.
