Beggars' Oak Clog dancing at the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance. They were formed in 1983 and are a mixed clog morris team dancing in the North West tradition. The Beggars' Oak was a great tree which stood on the Bagot Estate near Abbots Bromley, a meeting place for itinerants. It was believed to be about 1000 years old when it had to be removed in about the 1940s. They receive regular invitations to participate around the region - in particular, fetes and fayres, Well Dressing festivals, Women's Institute workshops and very specially - to support the ancient Horn Dance each September at Abbots Bromley. Other events include Wassailing in January where we have presented at Staffordshire Wildlife Centre at Wolsley. This often includes the famous and raucus Mummers Play traditionally performed by Lichfield Morris.
