A male drummer at Rochester Sweeps Festival 2014, Kent, England
The modern day Sweeps Festival is a colourful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival. The festival was revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton. Medway’s annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday on 1 May; the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot behind and have some fun.
