English folk traditions are still vigorously celebrated across Kent, especially during the month of May, and particularly over the May Bank Holiday weekend at Rochester Sweeps’ Festival.
To mark these traditions we’ve invited photographer Mike Snarr to show his evocative black and white photographs documenting the breadth of people, costumes, dances, mayhem and traditions embraced by the May Sweeps’ Festival.
