Friends and followers, after a lot of discussion we've decided to cancel our dance out in Chester tomorrow. This decision has not been taken lightly and is based on changing information about the coronovirus and crowd gatherings (yes we were hoping for a large crowd!!!).

Wave your handkerchief and jingle your bells! Watch Powderkegs Border Morris dancers greeting the dawn and braving the cold to welcome the arrival of May Day high on Windgather Rocks cliffside near Whaley Bridge. Pictures from @fstoppress.
