Documentary segment about the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance. This dance & procession, using reindeer antlers, takes place every September in the village of Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire, England. It is Britain's oldest folk dance tradition. The first written reference to it is from 1686. However, it is almost certainly much older, & very likely originally tied in with Winter Solstice celebrations. The presenters here are Rachel & Becky Unthank, who are folk singers & folk dancers from the north-east of England.
