This coming weekend sees an amazing event take place on the Wight – or should we say ‘just off the Wight’.
Men of Wight Morris Dancers will be flown over the Solent to Bramble Bank (halfway between the Island and Southampton) by Hovertravel for a spot of Morris dancing!
It’s all part of grand tour around the Island that the Men of Wight will be taking part in between 21-23 August.
There’ll be displays around the Island with a massed display on Sandown Seafront at 4pm on the Saturday and 12:30 pm on Sunday on Cowes Seafront when the Men of Wight will be joined by 100 Morris Dancers from around the UK.
