Long sword dancers in traditional dress tour the village on the Saturday after Plough Monday.
These dates are based on when this event usually takes place and have not been confirmed by the organiser for this year. Please check before travelling.
The Plough Stots are Goathland's longsword dance team, reviving a custom in which farm lads dragged a plough through the village and danced for money after Christmas. The team dances at pubs and houses around the village through the day, with the Old Man and the Betty in attendance. A rare chance to see a moorland tradition that survives nowhere else.
