British Movietone I love it when I find something weird when I'm looking for something else. Here's an unusual tradition I hadn't heard of before. It looks fun, but they look heavy!
The origins of the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance are lost in the mists of time. The dancers cover some twenty miles carrying heavy Reindeer Antlers during the dance, which is a mixture of an ancient Fertility Rite and Morris Dancing.
