11.30 am Massed Morris Dancers
The Morris Dancing team of King’s Lynn, the King’s Morris was formed in 1978. Like most modern teams, they are a revival side; a team formed in a town that does not have a tradition of Morris Dancing. Dances are from the Bledington, Fieldtown, Bampton, Badby, Bucknell and Adderbury ‘traditions’.

13.15 pm Pearl in the Egg brings the sounds of the medieval and Tudor worlds vividly to life through authentic performances on period instruments including harp, lyre, rebec, shawms, bagpipes and recorders. Performing in historically researched costume, the duo combines music, song and dance to recreate the atmosphere of courts, taverns and marketplaces from centuries past. They have appeared for organisations including English Heritage, National Trust and Historic Royal Palaces, delighting audiences with programmes ranging from Anglo-Saxon and medieval music to lively Tudor dance tunes.

14.45 D'Amour Guitar Duo are local musicians Simon Benefer and David Maddison playing instrumental acoustic guitar versions of many favourite pop, jazz and folk songs. Playing music from Van Morrison to Green Day and from Elton John to Dave Brubeck, d'Amour play relaxed and melodic music from many different eras.
