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 (last in 2007) 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 have an invite to France in 2008. 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!

£1000 CHEQUE FOR CHILDREN’S CANCER UNIT
At
the Duke of York, Iddesleigh, on the evening of Tuesday 22nd January,
Winkleigh Morris handed over
a cheque for over £1000 to the Children’s Oncology Unit at The Royal
Devon & Exeter Hospital.
Jamie Stewart, the landlord of the Duke of York, and his wife
Pippa,
always make Morris dancers very welcome at their pub. Over the past year
their young son has been receiving treatment for a type of cancer at the R.D.
& E, and is making good progress. He enjoyed watching the dancing on Boxing
Day.
Winkleigh Morris
make a substantial donation every year to a chosen charity, and it was a
unanimous decision of the members that any money collected at performances
during 2007 should go to support the cancer treatment for children at Exeter.
