Weird and Wonderful Derbyshire:
Winster Morris Dancers can always be seen performing on Carnival Day,
as part of Wakes Week. The earliest references to this form of dance date
from around 1500, although the Winster group is thought to have been
formed around 1863.
Ingleby has, in woods to the south west of the village, the only Viking
cremation cemetery to be discovered in the country.
Cromford Steam Rally was started in August 1970 by a small group
of steam engine enthusiasts, it quickly expanded into a much larger
celebration of a bygone age.
Ashbourne Shrovetide Football also known as “hugball”, has been played
from at least 1667. One of the most popular hypotheses of the origin of the
game suggests the macabre notion that the ‘ball’ was originally a severed
head tossed into the waiting crowd following an execution!
Derby Feste first came to the city centre streets in September 2007 to mark
the opening of the Westfield Derby shopping centre (now Intu Derby)
and then, the following year, the opening of QUAD arts centre. The Feste
reaffirms Derby’s reputation as a true festival city with a vibrant arts and
cultural heritage.
