An Illustrious Order of Fools & Beasts event.
Open to all budding or experienced Fools, Beasts and Morris Characters from any team from the Morris Federation, Morris Ring, Open Morris, or independent.
Robert Chisman, the organiser, says:
This year, I am pleased to announce that East Kent Morris are hosting the 2026 event! Our base will be the Faversham Cricket Club, Selling Road, Faversham, Kent, ME13 8XF.
We’re back to indoor camping this year. There are showers available. There is plenty of room for Motor Homes and Caravans, and camping for the hardy Fools!
The Saturday tour will be in Canterbury City Centre, as part of the Canterbury Arts Festival. There will be the usual mix of workshops, including a talk on Kent Hooden Horses, plus the AGM on Sunday. The fee has been capped to £90; this includes Friday supper, two breakfasts, Saturday lunch, and Feast. Where else could you go for full board for a weekend at this price?
Please contact Robert for pro rata prices for part of the weekend. Children under 16 half price! (Trigger says he will eat them, I think he misses the point!) E-mail: triggertrotter1@aol.com).
