Just as the sun is rising on Thursday 1st May 2025 at about 5:40am, Dartington Morris will dance at Totnes Castle (with the permission of English Heritage).
We look forward to welcoming visitors to join us, as we have done for the past few years, with many a brave soul getting up and out before dawn.
We will sing May Day songs and performed a number of dances in the Cotswold tradition, while we welcome our audience with warm, spicy apple juice and fruity cake.
We dance at dawn on May Day each year to mark the beginning of our summer dance programme, in common with a number of Morris dance teams elsewhere in the UK and several other countries such as Canada, USA, Australia, Denmark and the Netherlands.
Come and join us and say hello - it's free and we'd love to see you!
May Day marks the first 'summer' outing for us and we continue with weekly performances, usually on a Friday evening, all the way to September. Please check our calendar for full details and do come along to watch - you're sure of an enjoyable Friday evening out at a delightful pub somewhere in South Devon!
