Valmai Goodyear Folklore: May baskets (24) RE: Folklore: May baskets 15 Apr 13

Here are the Knots of May dancing to their excellent band on Garland Day in Lewes. Children make garlands of flowers to be judged in the Gun Garden of Lewes Castle, and then everyone processes down School Hill to the Town Square for more dancing by the Knots and Chanctonbury Ring Morris Men. It's done on the early May bank holiday (first Monday in May) and was originally done on May Day itself.

Thanks to Trevor Curry for the video.
