About Bacup
- The Britannia Coconut Dancers of Bacup are one of the most unusual and distinctive folk dance traditions in England. The dancers, who perform on Easter Saturday, blacken their faces, wear short skirts, and clap together small wooden discs — the "coconuts" — attached to their hands, knees, and waists as they dance through the streets of Bacup. The tradition is believed to have Moorish or Cornish origins, brought to Lancashire by miners who came to work in the area in the nineteenth century, and it has been performed continuously for over 150 years. The dance is performed by the Britannia Coco-Nut Dancers, who are based in the Britannia area of Bacup, and it attracts visitors from across the country who come to witness this remarkable survival of an ancient folk custom.
