Join Half Moon Sword in this winter celebration practiced in the farming and coal-mining regions of northern England, where the annual visit of the local sword dancers was thought to guarantee good luck for the year. The Festival will feature both mystical, stately longsword and vigorous rapper sword dancing, with live music on fiddle, accordion, and other instruments.
