Rutland Morris are looking forward to 2024!

After two disrupted pandemic years, Rutland Morris had a very busy time in 2022; we followed this with an even busier 2023. Our final event of the year was our traditional Boxing Day dance and the performance of our world famous (!) Mummers Play at Manton and Uppingham. It was great to see the large and enthusiastic crowds who turned out to join us.

In January we hosted a very popular 'have a go at Morris Dancing' workshop. There were more than 30 of us, visitors and Rutland Morris, in a packed Ashwell village hall for the morning. A good time was had by all, and, as our Squire Dave Casewell said, we hope many of our guests will come to regular practices or danceouts during the year.

We have finished our early 2024 Winter danceouts this year, although we will be visiting a couple of nearby Morris 'sides' to help them celebrate their Feast days in the Spring.

Then, following those, we'll start our Summer on St George's Day and follow that with our traditional May Day dawn dance. Then we'll be into a full programme of events for the year - our calendar is on our events page, so please see that for full details.

Our charity for this season is Peppers, so please give generously.

If you would like to donate to us, details can be found on our charity work page.

Wassail.

We will next be dancing out:

On Tuesday 23 April

For our usual St George's Day celebrations
