Padstow is a town for all seasons, catering for many interests, but one event in the calendar, not to be missed is the mystical magical

‘Obby Oss

festival. Every year it falls on May 1st, UNLESS that happens to be a Sunday, in which case (as it was this year), it is deferred until Monday. From dawn until dusk and beyond, revellers dance and sing in the streets as they parade through the town following the Red or Blue ‘Oss.

 

Below are some photos taken around the town on that day. Just click on any of the photos and an enlarged version will be loaded. Please be patient if you do not have a broadband connection.
