Organiser's website

Come along for a day to celebrate this traditional form of English folk dance, its music and song.

We (SDFS) have also agreed to join the programme. PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY THE 1ST JUNE IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE so that I can put your name on the list as a Singer for free entrance on the day.

A whole host of sides will perform at the Museum to show the wide range of dances and music in the Morris tradition, and prove that it doesn’t just involve bells and handkerchiefs!

Confirmed morris sides participating include:

• Knockhundred Shuttles
• Sompting Village Morris, with Morris Minors
• Fleur de Lys Morris Dancers
• Minden Rose
• Deorfrith Morris
• Victory Morris
• TRADS with Gail Duff

There will be displays of maypole and country dancing with plenty of opportunities to join in.
