All Hallows Gathering 2017 – Into the Dark

I guess it’ll always be a difficult decision to make for the audience at the Dark Gathering.  ‘Shall I be in the procession with the Welsh Mari Lwyds – or shall I wait by the Museum with the Cornish Penkevyll?’  Hopefully folks in time will take it in turns to be in the torchlight procession or wait amidst the tribal drumming at the Museum.  Either way I feel there is a certain magic awaiting for the performer and onlooker alike.  There was quite a breeze this year so the torches were blazing and crackling fiercely as the Procession slowly made it’s way through the streets of Boscastle until eventually it came to the bridge by the Museum.
