INFO ON HEYBRIDGE HERE -
Heybridge is a civil parish and large village, large enough to be a town in the Maldon district of Essex, England. It is adjacent to Maldon, near the River Blackwater.
It is often overshadowed by its historic neighbour, and one could mistakenly think it to be the same town, as the two have merged with one another over the years. It has a population of 7,627, increasing to 8,175 at the 2011 Census.
Heybridge has a number of residential areas, most recognisable is the newer Bovis housing estates to the west of the town, which were built in 1995. Before building commenced, a full archaeological dig was undertaken and the excavations showed the existence of an important Iron Age settlement and ritual complex,
a large Roman settlement and a succeeding Saxon settlement, as well as scattered pre-historic remains. Along the Goldhanger road are situated a number of traditional British holiday campsites, catering for both permanent residents and visitors.

English Morris Dancers
The Beltane Border Dancers performances date back to days when entertainment was illegal, performers would blacken their faces and wear costumes so they couldn't be identified by the inn keepers. This performance took place in front of the Old Church Inn at Torbryan UK on Boxing Day 2011 and is a yearly tradition there. Check out more of the Beltane Border group at this link

Lincoln Big Morris Festival - 2011
Festival of Morris in the historic city of Lincoln. Crowds enjoyed the music, the dance, the festive atmosphere, and the fine displays of the many and varied forms of morris dance including Cotswold, Border and Molly. There were clog dancers, Appalachian Dancers and dancers with flower garlands. Some dancers had pom-poms, many had sticks. These were bashed with great style and vim - indeed, splinters flew! The Raving Maes contributed vim as well! Look out for the Morris Dogs.
