Joining us

Keeping the Tradition Alive

MORRIS DANCING IS PART OF OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE - AND IS FREE TO TRY WITH MOST SIDES!

Dancers are always welcome to come and see us when they are in the area and we practice on a Thursday evening throughout the year at the Scout Hut in East End Lane (7.30pm to 9.30 pm) and very often on the village Green during the Summer. We currently have over 30 dancing members (Jan 2012), so space is limited.

Scout Headquarters

Before you come to see us it is best to phone the Squire first to say you would like to come. [see contacts]

What you can expect

Morris dancing is elegant, energetic, with leaps, jumps and turns and you really need to be agile and fit before joining a side – we have a saying, ‘Get fit to come to Morris, not come to Morris to get fit’. It is recommended that you wear something loose.

If you enjoy the challenge of learning something new, keeping the tradition alive and having fun along the way, then our Squire will tell you the best time if you want to join.

After practice, we retire to the White Horse for some much needed refreshment.
