The Ashantee village toured Britain during 1902 - including stops at Manchester, Sheffield, and Cardiff.  Another advertisement (Sheffield Independent, 6 Dec 1902) describes the event in a little more detail - arts, trades and industries, of their country [Gold Coast, later Ghana], war songs and tournaments.

Little, if anything, is known of the participants or how they came to be in Britain, or what they thought of the show. It is worth noting that just two years prior to the Ashantee village tour, Britain had put down an Ashantee rebellion resulting in over 2,000 Ashantee deaths and the banishment of their leaders to the Seychelles.

During the show’s residence in Sheffield one of the Ghanaians - an infant, Kai Akosia Meusa (born to Meusah La) died (and was buried in the Sheffield General Cemetery).
