Britannia Coconutters Easter Saturday Statement

We have recently learned that our current funding for our  Easter Saturday boundary dance traffic management will no longer be funded.  The team has been given this information with very short notice despite submitting all the required paperwork in good time and now face the possibility that our very unique tradition may not go ahead breaking a tradition that dates back over 100 years and we understand this could have very big repercussions for many of our local communities and local businesses but without a traffic management plan in place we have no other choice.

The Coconutters Easter Saturday boundary dance has always been a very special day in the Rossendale calendar for both the townsfolk and our team.  We are now left looking for alternatives with very short notice to be able to salvage our boundary dance for 2022.  We understand that a lot of effort has gone into the planning of the day by our supporters, friends and local businesses and we as a team are doing all we can to salvage the tradition even it if means the we may only be able to showcase in Bacup centre.  We assure everyone that we will do our upmost to get some resolve and keep you all informed of our progress.
