DESCRIPTION:\n\n
      The 99th Thaxted weekend of dance will be held on its
  traditional weekend in 2026  - that is the 29th to 31st of
  May.\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      The festivities kick off on the Friday evening with
   welcome food/information and dancing for those that will. The
  Saturday will be as old hands have come to expect\, a breakfast
  followed by bus tours of the beautiful surrounding countryside
  stopping to dance in several pubs\, a pub lunch will also be
  provided. \n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      The tours will end up back in Thaxted for  the massed
  procession from both ends of the town then show and massed
  dancing in the centre. From that a glorious feast where you
  will handsomely fed and watered. More mass and show dancing
  leading to the climax of the evening when the Thaxted Men dance
  the haunting and sublime Abbots Bromley horn dance. \n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      On the Sunday after breakfast a short procession up the
  hill and church for the spiritually inclined then more dancing
  before lunch. After lunch relaxing Morris and social dancing
  with the public in the Margaret street. The cost\, £80 for the
  whole weekend including all food\, indoor quiet\, indoor or
  outdoor camping\, the coach and some beer. (£60 for the full
  Saturday and £40 for the ‘small Saturday’) Under 18 and
  students are half price. This is the same as last year. Vegans
  and vegetarians handsomely catered for. \n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      Thaxted Morris men believe our weekend should be gender
  inclusive\, all sides regardless of the gender profile of the
  dancers or musicians will be most welcome.\n\n
  \n\n
  \n\n
      We are reducing numbers this year so space will be more
  limited than usual\, this is due to preparations for next
  year’s 100th anniversary of Thaxted’s Morris weekend. Early
  booking is essential to avoid disappointment. To book\, contact
  me and I’ll send a form. revansandson [at] sky.com\n\n

  \n\n
      Kind regards \n\n
