01 May 2008, 05:30 05:30 AM - Waking the Jack-in-the-Green at 5:32am Sunrise. Rochester Sweeps Festival
Blue Bell Hill car park then High Street (11am-ish), Rochester, Kent, - Free
Note this IS at 05:32 Sunrise. Get there by about 5am as it will be crowded. Don’t worry about the fact that its still dark, there is much to see and experience, bring a hip flask filled with dubious alcoholic contents and you will be made most welcome. (If you believe this gig to be a prank, look it up elsewhere on the net. Don’t miss out, as its the whole point of the Festival!) The Festival will then continue in Rochester from about 10am in the High Street The one weekend where Rochester comes alive to the sound of Morris Dancing and the pubs full of folk music. Recommended pubs; The Man of Kent and The Good Intent both in John St, (near the primary school). Rochester, not in the High Street melee so its where many of the Morris Dancers go to put their aching feet up for half an hour. Come along and meet some.
