Country Dance Festival held in Brent Knoll featuring local schools

A country dance festival took place in Brent Knoll this week with participants from Brent Knoll Primary and Mark First School.

A large group of parents came to watch and many joined in the final dance as the children performed on the Brent Knoll playground in the shadow of the Knoll.

Head teacher Chris Burman says: “This is the fourth year the dance has been held at Brent Knoll, inspired after Somerset Council stopped running the county-wide festival in Wells.”

“One day it would be wonderful to return to Wells, but in the meantime we will carry on the tradition of country dancing at Brent Knoll. It was wonderful to see so many children enjoying the event.”
