Pig Dyke Molly are one of the most entertaining group of dancers who perform in Whittlesey every January and must spend hours preparing their makeup and costumes in addition to perfecting their very popular molly dance routines. It's impossible to describe them in a few words "weird" or "bizarre" maybe but most definitely "unique". It is interesting to see how the makeup and hair has evolved over the last 2 years https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5261773 See more here https://www.pigdyke.co.uk/index.php .....
