Come and enjoy the vibrant opening procession of Folk Lore Kent’s Mayhem Fair in Dane John Gardens. The towering floral May Giant will clear the way for summer, accompanied by energetic Morris dancing from Bower Street Morris, Belles of London City, Cuckoo’s Nest, Quaggy Morris, Sussex Junction, and Trudgepig Folk Theatre’s wonderfully mischievous herd of hooden beasts.
