Morris dancers are a mainstay of the festival and relate directly to the origins of the festival as a traditional English dance festival. Their colourful presence dancing out around the town and on the seafront provide one of the iconic soundscapes of the festival – bells!
There are lots of different styles and many of the costumes have sound historical reasons for how they look.
Morris sides also help raise funds for Folk Week –
please put some money in their tins when you see them dance – it all goes towards the next festival.
If you are with a dance side, and are interested in being part of the Festival please get in touch for more information. enquiries@broadstairsfolkweek.org.uk
