Check out our Gallery and YouTube channel for photos and videos.
Contact us about performing at your event:
To perform we require a hard surface (wood, paving, or tarmac) at least 10m square and as level as possible. We cannot dance on grass, gravel, or carpet.
Contact our Secretary Christine by email:
contact-us@beggars-oak.org.uk
We regularly perform at fetes, Well Dressing festivals, Women’s Institute workshops, and annually at the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance each September. Other appearances include Wassailing at the Staffordshire Wildlife Centre in Wolsley, often featuring the traditional Lichfield Mummers Play.
