Fools & Animals
Many sides have a beast or animal used to entertain the crowd. Sometimes these can be quite scary, and our own beast 'Black Shuck' is no exception! He is a ghostly black dog who is said to roam and haunt the coastline and countryside of East Anglia. Be careful if you see him with his menacing red eyes!

Another person you might sometimes see with us is our 'Fool', whose name needs no further elaboration. He'll keep you entertained, and is even known to dart in and out of the dancing. Our Fool for many years was Jim Appleby, seen here in action collecting from the spectators.
