Dancing the Cotswold Tradition around Hertfordshire and beyond since 1930
We always need more dancers, whatever their level of experience and expertise.
Come and have a go – no obligation – on Monday, 19th September or 26th September.
Meanwhile, we also need more musicians.
Any instrument – although preferably one that can play a tune in the open air. We are happy to train you in the skills needed.
Our ninetieth practice season is well underway and we have managed to get at least two sets up at practically every practice.
Plans are now well underway for the dancing season ahead and our hosting of a meeting of the Morris Ring at the end of July.
The weather was kind and the company was great as we enjoyed welcoming friends from far and near to join us for our Day of Dance in St Albans to mark the end of our dancing season.
We will be welcoming Morris sides from far and near to join us in marking the end of our dancing season with our Day of Dance on Saturday, 28th September 2019.

We had a great time at this annual event – part of St Albans Folk Festival. Thanks to Trevor for all of his work organising the evening and to everyone else who made it so enjoyable.
Humid doesn’t quite do it justice, but where better to be on such a warm night than the Woodman at Wild Hill.
We were joined by our friends from Etcetera Morris Men and a small but enthusiastic audience.
We had a good evening in Redbourn on Monday, dancing first at The Cricketers and then for an appreciative audience at The Holly Bush, where two sticks were broken – some of our dancers don’t know their own strength!
Here is a short video of us, dancing Vandals, as part of the massed dance in Trafalgar Square during Westminster Morris Men’s Day of Dance.
We had a good sized side dancing out in Sandridge last night with a warm welcome from the new landlord of The Green Man as we danced into the gathering dusk…
