Hello, dear friends! Miss me?
Well it has been really hard time for me so I didn't even get chance to publish something here.
Today I'd like to tell you about the Cuckoo fair.
Since the 16th century, people have been coming from miles around to marvel at this medieval festival. These days, around 20,000 people enjoy live entertainment from brass bands, street performers and Morris dancers. For those who were brought up in the city it seems like a lot of quaint countryside fun, but the fair also has about 250 stalls selling handmade crafts and local produce, and that's why this place is so popular with tourists.
At the Cuckoo fair you can see children dancing around the Maypole looking adorable as they are weaving around each other in their bright costumes. Also you can follow a street procession to the crowning of the cuckoo princess. Although I can't say I fully understand the significance of this ancient ceremony, it's interesting to find out something new.
Well that's all for now
I hope you enjoyed reading this post!
Have a nice day xx
