Mayday 2010 Morris Parade, Guildford

Celebrating the summer on Mayday 2010, Pilgrim Morris Men carry the summerpole and dance up Guildford High Street to the steps of Holy Trinity Church assisted by the Jack-in-the-Green, Ewell St. Mary's Morris Men, Fleur-De-Lis Morris, Mad Hatter Morris and Windsor Morris. The parade was led by Guildford's Summer King Matthew Alexander, Queen Henriette Jakeman and their retinue.

After the parade, the sides performed more dances outside the Church, then the celebrations continued with dances round the summerpole in the grounds of Guildford Castle.

These performers make dancing on cobblestones up a long steep hill look easy.
