Timed to run on the same day as the Morris Dancers' Broadwood Day of Dance it was another success for the town and looks to become part of the calendar</P> <P>The town already has run events for French and Italian markets so it seems fitting that it should look at little closer to home for this new event. The Broadwood Day of Dance has been celebrated every year in Horsham since 1992. That year marked the 21<SUP>st</SUP> anniversary of the group and the pedestrianisation of the Carfax</P> <P>In addition to the established dancing was the market of traditional English fare fully supported by the regular farmer's market</P> <P>Street entertainers were also in evidence but managed to escape the lens of the Hidden Horsham camera</P> <BR><BR><BR> <TABLE BORDER=0 class=thumbs width=610 align="center"> <TR><TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/full/77a.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/page/77a.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, the market in the Carfax" width=295 height=152 border=0 align=left></A> </TD> <TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/full/77b.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/page/77b.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, Dancers preparing by Shelley's Fountain" border=0 align=left width=294 height=199 ></A></TD></TR> <TR><TD><P class=c>The Carfax Market</P></TD><TD><P class=c>Dancers preparing by Shelley's Fountian</P></TD></TR> <TR><TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/full/77c.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/page/77c.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, dancers by MacDonalds" width=296 height=233 border=0 align=left></A></TD> <TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/full/77d.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/page/77d.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, man in a strange wig" width=295 height=313 border=0 align=left></A></TD></TR> <TR><TD><P class=c>Dancers awaiting their turn</P></TD><TD><P class=c>Man in a strange wig</P></TD></TR> <TR><TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/full/77e.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/page/77e.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, Dancers in full swing" width=296 height=181 border=0 align=left></A></TD> <TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/full/77f.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/page/77f.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, dancers exchange views" width=295 height=418 border=0 align=left></A></TD></TR> <TR><TD><P class=c>Dancers in full swing outside the Lynd Cross</P></TD><TD><P class=c>Dancers exchange views</P></TD></TR> <TR><TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/full/77g.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/page/77g.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, Dancers and the public join together for the final dance by the bandstand in the Carfax" width=296 height=222 border=0 align=left></A></TD> <TD VALIGN="bottom"><A HREF="/images/hh/full/77h.jpg" target="_blank"> <IMG class=edge SRC="/images/hh/page/77h.jpg" alt="Hidden Horsham, Dancers and the public join together for the final dance by the bandstand in the Carfax" width=295 height=221 border=0 align=left></A></TD></TR> <TR><TD colspan=2><P class=c>Dancers and the public join together for the final dance by the bandstand in the Carfax</P></TD></TD></TR> </TABLE> <P>There are more pictures of this event on Flickr, see external links below</P> <P>If you have any images or comments you would like added to this page please contact Hidden Horsham as shown below</P> <BR> <TABLE BORDER=0 class=info > <TR><TD><P>External Links:</P> <P>English Festival: <A HREF="http://www.englishfestival.co.uk" target="_blank">Home Page</A></P> <P><A HREF="http://www.broadwoodmorris.org.uk/" target="_blank">The Broadwood Morris Men</A></P> <P>Flickr: <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/91135231@N00/sets/72157605094300317/" target="_blank">English Festival pictures</A></P> <P>Horsham District Council: <A HREF="http://www.horsham.gov.uk/your_area/News/news_8817.asp" target="_blank">Horsham plans first English Festival</A></P> </TD></TR> </TABLE> <H3><A HREF="/76/theoldhouse.htm" class=opac><IMG SRC="/images/back.gif" alt="click for the previous image" border=0></A><A HREF="/78/theforum.htm" class=opac><IMG SRC="/images/fwd.gif" alt="click for the next image" border=0></A></H3> <HR> <P>Contributions, comments and suggestions are welcomed.
