The Cathedral spot
The architecture is superb. It could almost have been designed for morris musicians to bounce their music off!
The Great Hall - Outside
This was a little quiet at first, but then an organised tour
appeared and we had a large appreciative audience.
The Great Hall - Inside
The Great Hall is the last remaining part of Winchester
Castle. The kings of Wessex ruled from here.
The acoustics are simply amazing - I wouldn't miss this spot no
matter how steep the climb up to this end of town.
The Buttercross
We were joined here by Ian and Emma, who had previously been
members of OBJ
The Museum Spot
One of the best dance spots in Winchester - it always provides a
large audience. We shared this spot with our old friends
Taeppa's Tump
The Museum Spot
The spot was ideal for a massed East Acton
