Every year, on the first Monday after the Sunday following 4 September, the Horn Dance is performed in Abbots Bromley. No one knows how old the dance is; it could easily predate the Norman Conquest, and its meaning is also lost to us. Ten dancers take part accompanied by two musicians. The dancers include a maid (Maid Marian), a jester, a man on a hobby-horse, a boy with a bow and arrow and six men wearing antlers.
