Formed in 1990, we are a mixed side of about twenty dancers and musicians. We perform a variety of dances from Cotswold and Border Morris traditions, as well as some dances of our own. From May until September we can be seen on a Tuesday evening around the villages in the heart of Devon, where you are welcome to join us afterwards in a friendly hostelry for further music, singing and dancing. We have danced at several festivals in this country and usually attend at least one Morris weekend every summer as guests of another group. Every two years we organise our own Weekend of Dance (next in 2009) at which we welcome friends old and new from all over the country. We have visited Eire, France Holland & Germany and are always keen to establish new contacts elsewhere. We are a member of the Morris Federation.

You are welcome to share our fun whether as a spectator or by becoming a dancer or musician!

We have enjoyed the hospitality of other groups throughout the U.K. and further afield and have welcomed many to participate in our own weekend of dance, held every two years usually on the third weekend in May. We are pleased to offer a link to their web pages.
