Abbots Bromley Horn Dance is the oldest traditional Dance in the country.  The current horns used are carbon-dated to over 1000 years old.

Originally the Dance was held over 3 days, but is now just held on the 1st Monday, after the 1st Sunday, after the 4th September.  Sometime between the 5th and the 12th September.

The Horns
Whites are called Whites but Browns are called Blues by the dancers.  Largest White is always carried by the leader of the Dance.

The dancers collect the Horns from St Nicholas Church just before 8am, after a short blessing.  They are returned to the Church around 8pm that same day, after dancing at various points around the village.

This year Horn Dance day is 10th September 2012.  There are no other confirmed dates for bookings at this time, although there are some in the pipeline.
