Spaw Sunday - Cragg Vale
Every year Ryburn Longsword joins the good folk of Cragg Vale to walk from the Hinchliffe Arms to the Spaw - a spring which in Victorian times was an important source of health and happiness. We do a couple of Longsword dances, enjoy the community picnic, and then repair to the Robin Hood for a few more dances and further refreshments.
