NUTTERS DANCE: A Glance into the Historical Custom of Britannia Bacup Coconut Dancers, Lancashire, England This photograph captures the essence of an age-old tradition: the Britannia Bacup Coconut Dancers from Lancashire, performing at the York Summer Festival during the 1950s. The men, dressed in colorful skirts, clogs, and plumes, are seen engaged in the lively and energetic 'Nutters Dance.' The dancers, known locally as 'Nutters,' blackened their faces in disguise to ensure the effectiveness of their spell during the performance. This custom, deeply rooted in local history, dates back to the winter festivals of England, where the dancers would chase away the evil spirits with their whips and coconuts. The 'Nutters Dance' was a popular spectacle at various festivals and fairs throughout the country, with Bacup in Lancashire being particularly renowned for its unique interpretation. The dancers would perform in a circle, each man trying to crack a coconut balanced on the head of the man in front using a long, flexible whip. The man who successfully cracked the coconut would then take a prize, often a bottle of beer or a piece of money. This photograph, taken during the Easter celebrations at the York Summer Festival, offers a glimpse into the rich historical customs of England and the unique traditions that continue to captivate and intrigue us. The Britannia Bacup Coconut Dancers, with their whips, skirts, clogs, and blackened faces, represent a living link to the past and serve as a reminder of the vibrant and diverse cultural heritage that exists within the United Kingdom.
