Morris dancers took to the streets of Mid Sussex to give a traditional welcome to the early May Bank Holiday.

Ditchling Morris were accompanied by London-based side Hammersmith Morris Men for a weekend of dancing at various locations in Sussex.

Saturday saw them dancing through Lewes, and on Sunday they started at Oldland Windmill in Hassocks before ending the weekend on a high at the South Downs Heritage Centre.

Craig Brookwell, branch manager said: “Ditchling Morris are always an eagerly anticipated date on our calendar and Hammersmith were a fabulous addition this year.”
