Abbots Bromley is known for its annual Horn Dance, an English folk dance dating back to the Middle Ages. The modern version of the dance involves reindeer antlers, a hobby horse, Maid Marian, and a Fool. The dance takes place on Wakes Monday, the day following Wakes Sunday, which is the first Sunday after 4 September. It begins in the morning on the village green and passes to Blithfield Hall, returning to the village in the early afternoon with the dancers then making their way around the pubs and houses, eventually finishing with a service of Compline at the church.

Animal Dance (album) Animal Dance (album) Animal Dance is an album by American pianist and composer John Lewis and German trombonist Albert Mangelsdorff (with The Zagreb Jazz Quartet contributing one track) which was recorded in West Germany for the Atlantic label in 1962. Ken Dryden in his review for AllMusic states, "none of the musicians had ever played together, though it made little difference as they quickly absorbed the originals of Lewis and Mangelsdorff, along with the familiar standard "Autumn Leaves" (a trio arrangement omitting Lewis) and Gary McFarland's "Why Are You Blue.". "All compositions by John Lewis except as indicated" Tracks 1-6:
