Wessex Folk Festival (Weymouth)

1st-2nd June 2019

This festival can be a bit challenging due to flow of people pushing past, or through, the dance spots. Despite this, we enjoyed ourselves.

The undoubted highlight was the debut appearance of Sam (Ian and Emma's little son)


OBJ comprised: Ali, Andy, Ann, Christine, Christopher, Claudia, Colin, IanJ, Joe, Karen, Mark, Mike, Sarah and Tony

Ian and Emma introduced their little son Sam to Morris during the festival.

He seemed to find it hilarious


A hen party appeared somewhere along the way, and the "hen" asked if she could join a dance.

How could we refuse?


This is Sunday's band

Giles, Colin, Joe, Ali, Christopher and one of the many joiners-in

Colin enjoying a bit of peace and quiet

I must have missed this

No idea why Ann was under Joe's poncho

We spotted a couple of these in the murky waters of Weymouth harbour

It's a Barrel Jellyfish swimming in from the sea. It's other name is Dustbin-Lid Jellyfish as it's head is up to 90cm wide, and the whole creature is about 150cm long.

The tentacles carry a mild sting, which is not usually harmful to humans

Here's a better picture from the web.
