We are a mixed Cotswold Morris side from Rutland.

We are an English/Welsh Border Style morris dancing side based in the North East of England. We have members from Bridlington Driffield Hornsea Hull Hunmanby Flamborough and some local villages around and in between. We practice September till June in Wansford village hall Monday evenings 7 30 pm till 9 30 pm. In the summer months we dance out on most Monday evenings in and around the places we all live. From January onwards we receive invitations to local events which we love to support if we can plus further away festivals along with other Morris sides.

We do all our own dances trying to introduce and learn new ones each practice season as well as keeping up with established ones. We are a fairly small side of dancers and musicians and have a social part to our membership as well as the business side of things. We love to introduce new members to the side to join in the fun and laughter which is big part of who we are.

When dressed up and dancing out in our green tatter jackets we have been known to be called “dancing trees”! We love this as our name face paint outfits and spirit represent the “Green Man/Lady” of our Woodlands! We enjoy upholding the Morris Dancing tradition and sharing this as we dance our way through the year. Why not book us for your event! Why not come and join us! Either way we would be very pleased to see you.

Sheffield City Morris were formed in 1975 and the aim was to make Morris dancing an entertaining spectacle in an urban environment, keeping it going as a living tradition. The team also has strong vocal and instrumental expertise, enabling us to provide a varied programme at festivals and other events, locally and further afield.

If you are interested in booking us we are always open to offers.

We are a community-based team of enthusiasts who specialise in traditional English Traditional Sword Dancing. We perform dances in two distinct styles; Longsword dances of the Yorkshire region sometimes with their accompanying Plough Stots dances and the short sword or ‘Rapper’ dances from North-Eastern England .

From September 2021 we are looking for more members for the team. We are an equal opportunity team (as far as is possible) and welcome all ages and genders.

Rattlejag Morris based in Retford is a mixed dance side formed in 2002 with the aim of reviving and developing a dance tradition based in our own local area. Taking inspiration from the local ploughboys of the 19th century and using material collected from East Yorkshire Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire we dance Plough Morris.

Each dancer and musician has their own colour ribbon and face paint which together gives the side a multi-coloured effect. We perform broom dances bacca pipe dances and sword dances amongst many others which are unique to our group and are continually developing new dances based on research. We use many local tunes rarely heard or music written to suit a particular dance.

Flash Company are a mixed group of Border, Molly and Appalachian dancers based in Otley, West Yorkshire.

We are a mixed - some say very mixed up - border Morris side from Loughborough Leicestershire.

We wear disparate styles of tatters in purple black and silver with faces painted as some form of disguise.

Our dance style is exuberant with sticks and the occasional hanky! Dances are based on the traditional border style however we have written some of our own with a focus on the life and history of Loughborough. Others we have been gifted or have based upon other dances such as the Loughborough Brush dance a Molly version paying homage to the local Brush factory.   

Our music comprises accordions fiddles drums whistles bodhran and washboards.

We practice 7 - 9pm on Sunday evenings (when we are not out and about) at All Saints Thorpe Acre with Dishley Church Hall, Thorpe Acre Road, Loughborough. Dancers, have a go dancers and musicians welcome. Contact Jill on email - info@wayofthewyrd.co.uk or on Facebook - Way of the Wyrd Appreciation Association.
