Costumes

Colourful costumes, fancy headgear and a unique musical sound are all part of the Guggen experience. Costumes are normally changed every 2 or 3 years. Frumptarn started in 2003 dressed as bright orange coal miners - appropriately as Barnsley was once the heart of England's coal mining industry.

Costume change 2007

In 2007 we changed to red and black Beefeater costumes. Here you can see the old Miners' and new Beefeaters costumes modelled by Frumptarn players at Silkstone Lodge in June 2007, this was an event organised especially for the new costume launch.
