It’s July, which means it is nearly time for the annual global event “The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever!” and Raglan “Wutherers” will once again be participating.
What is this event?
The first Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever took place in 2013 by performance art group Shambush! at a festival in in England, trying to set a world record for most people dressed as Kate Bush in one place. Now it’s an event that takes place all over the world; participants of all ages, genders, and abilities gather to recreate the red dress dance from the music video for Kate Bush’s song “Wuthering Heights”. It is scheduled on a date close to Kate’s birthday.
When and where it is happening
Sunday 28th July. The outdoor location is just being finalised and we are hoping for dry weather! For updates on time and place, join the Facebook group, “Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever – Raglan”, or email the organisers at raglan.tmwhde@gmail.com.
Can anyone join in?
Absolutely, the more the merrier. It is free to participate.
We are focussed on having fun participation not accuracy. We have some really helpful video links that break down the moves with names, on our Facebook page, as well as details of group practices. But if you’d be happier frolicking about in the background in your red outfit with us on the day – we say, go for it!
We use this opportunity to raise awareness for the Karioi Project and encourage contributions for anyone able to donate funds to their cause.
