Just a bit of local promotion… Rochester will be celebrating its annual Sweeps Festival this Bank Holiday Weekend, Saturday May 3rd – Monday 5th.
A festival celebrating May Day and the beginning of Spring, Sweeps attracts Pagans, Wiccans, Folk fans and Goths alike. There’s Morris dancing, maypole dancing, lots of beer and plenty of folk concerts. The atmosphere is wonderful and you’ll get to see LOADS of different Morris Dancer groups (“sides”), including the very Goth-friendly Maenads and Wolf’s Head & Vixen (pictured above!)
I’ll be in Rochester the whole time, helping out my parents at the family shop (Spiral). Drop in and buy some celtic jewellery, gothic gifts or even a suit of armour (yes, it is for sale!) Or simply come in and say hello! 
Also check out The Maenads and Wolf’s Head & Vixen
Nice pic! I enjoyed the sweeps festival too and have been impresed with your blog as I had a quick skim through. Terrible the press goths get and here in the kent how the Daily Mail is the paper all seem to read and find their opinions in. I really liked your guide to goth styles/streotypes over at blackwaterfall.com as i am based in Tokyo and very interested in the harajuku scene as a photojournalist and for stock photography (well less interested now if you read my post http://sungypsy.wordpress.com/2008/03/29/not-like-home/you‘ll find out why). I am not educated enough on the different schools of this culture to do it justice so you guide was helpful and fun to browse. Thanks.
