This view of children in Molesworth Street is fascinating - more than 100 years later our dance group entertained children and holidaymakers at the same spot.

Our "Heather and Gorse Clog Dancers" joined up with the "Saffron Maids", and "Black Bess Border Morris" plus the "Ilfracombe Red Petticoats" to provide street entertainment as part of the Wadebridge Folk Festival. We danced near the Swan Inn and later at the Sir John Betjeman Centre and the Piazza - the sun shone all day long and we were surrounded by happy crowds of onlookers.

Wadebridge is a lovely venue for a folk festival.
