A festival of Morris dancing and folk tradition swept through the streets of Sheringham over the weekend.

The town's annual Potty Festival brought a sea of colour to the town in a magnificent display of Morris tradition.

The event has taken place for the past 30 years, and the celebration saw 37 sides dressed in traditional Morris attire dance their way through the seaside town.

Tony Chadwick, the festival’s chairman, said: “It’s about keeping the tradition alive. 

“That’s what it’s all about - the longer we can keep it going the better.

“We’re all very pleased with the way it went. It was a highly colourful production and some of the costumes were marvellous.

“We’ve already had some really positive feedback and I think the crowds enjoyed it just as much as the dancers themselves.”

After 30 years of involvement in the Potty Festival, the weekend marked Mr Chadwick’s last festival as chairman.

“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time as chairman, but I’ve decided it now needs fresh and younger blood,” the 75-year-old said.

“I’m sure I’ll still be involved behind the scenes.”
