Locals spend the night decorating the town’s streets with flags, flowers and greenery complete with a maypole and the following morning two “osses”, one red and one blue emerge from their stables. The “osses” proceed through Padstow’s streets taunted by a Teazer, who leads the dance with theatrical movements.
