Dance Sides

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.

You will find Morris dancing throughout the week, around the town,  along the seafront promonade and at The Bandstand every afternoon.

We want the 60th anniversary year to be something special, with more morris sides taking part, we hope you will join us.

We’d love to hear from you if your dance side is interested in being part of our 60th Festival Celebrations  tess@broadstairsfolkweek.org.uk

Please return this form to sign up your side!
