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 part of a dance side, and are interested in being part of the Festival please get in touch for more information.
We have sent out invites to all of our regular groups, if you have not received an email please get in touch.
