Have you ever thought “that looks fun”, but never knew how to join in? Fancy learning a few more tunes, and learning the dances that go with them? Would you like to find out more about the Cotswold Morris Traditions? Or Border Morris? Or even the rapper sword dance or mummers plays?

Do you fancy a fun way to keep fit, while making new friends? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then this workshop will definitely be for you.

It’s open to any instrumentalists, and you don’t have to be an expert as you will be initially grouped according to experience. After learning to play some tunes for specific dances, everybody will come together and have a go at both playing music and dancing (although not at the same time!)

Although aimed at people who want to play music as well as dance, the workshop is also open to people who would like to do just one or the other.

If you enjoy the workshop and would like to do more, the Men of Sweyn’s Ey will be on hand to give you details of their practices and performances. You never know, you might find yourself joining this long-established and highly respected local Morris side.
