Dartington Morris Men have decided to end our restriction to male dancers and we now welcome dancers of any gender.
Our practice season is now under way, and we are keen to encourage anyone interested in this fascinating English tradition to give Morris a go!
Dartington Morris Men once again hosted their annual Day of Morris Dancing in Totnes on Saturday 11 September 2021.
This event was open to all local Morris sides from the Open Morris, Morris Federation, and Morris Ring to form a Joint Morris Organisation Local Day of Dance.
Four invited guest sides joined Dartington Morris Men for a great day out, starting at 11am and finishing at around 3pm.
Our printable summer programme is not currently available, as events are subject to last-minute changes. In the meantime please see our online calendar.
If you would like to know a little about Dartington Morris, when and where we dance, how we dance and why we dance, then you're in the right place. We also have a photo gallery and a fine collection of sheet music for traditional tunes; and you can order online our very own audio CD for quick delivery.
Just as the sun was rising on Thursday 1st May 2019, Dartington Morris Men once again danced at Totnes Castle. As usual, we were delighted to have an audience of local families.
Dartington Morris Men were delighted to be invited to take part in the short film Hell's Bells, written and directed by Devon-based director Luke Jeffery and released by Wandering Tiger.

To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we hosted a Day of Morris Dancing in Dartmouth on Saturday 8 September 2018.
Fourteen sides were represented in a very enjoyable and memorable day that included local Morris sides and a few from further away.
Dartington Morris are proud performers of the Filkins tradition. You can read here a little about the background to this and the historical records that refer to it and allowed the dance style to be reconstructed from the scant details available.
The latest CD 'A Job Lot' by Dartington Morris Men was released in September 2014.
It was produced to coincide with our Morris Ring meeting and is available for sale from us when you see us out and about.
Just £6.50, including free UK delivery.
We are normally fully booked many months in advance, but please contact the Bagman if you wish to make a booking or simply enquire about one. We plan our summer programme in February each year but you can still ask - we don't like turning down great invitations!
