MORRIS dancers and musicians congregated to Croome to welcome the first day of the summer.
Clear skies provided the backdrop for music and dance at the National Trust’s Panorama Tower on Monday at sunrise of the first May morning.
The Panorama Tower made the perfect setting with its viewpoint across the Vale of Evesham to where the sun rises in the East.
As the sun broke at 5.38am and orange hued rays began to break through on the horizon everyone danced together.
Dancers from around the country joined the celebrations at Croome.
The clashing of sticks and beating of drums filled the air as attendees dressed in brightly coloured ‘tatter jackets’ made of ribbons and strips of cloth, pheasant feathers in their hats and bells on their knees.
