Maybe you have watched the colour, fun and enthusiasm of Shrewsbury Morris along with enjoying the infectious, foot-tapping music and thought to yourself – maybe I could do that?

With more than 1000 Morris Dancers and perfect dancing weather, the JMO Day of Dance in Stockport could not have turned out better! A fabulous day was had by all, and huge congratulations to Carol, Katie and Lizzie on their first (of many) dance outs.
Don’t miss us on Saturday 3rd May in and around the LoopFest in Shrewsbury.
We had a super day on Saturday 22nd March at the Shrewsbury Moves Festival in the town centre. We danced alongside vibrant activities in the town centre including walking, cycling, yoga, sports, running, hula-hooping and more! The best bit was inviting members of the public to join in and experience the fun of Morris Dancing!! Thanks to all those brave souls who came and ‘had a go’!
Our first dance out of the year was at Worfield Village Hall on Thursday 20th March for the local branch of the WI. They were a wonderful, appreciative audience and, of course, being the WI, there was cake for us all to sample. Thanks to you all for such a warm welcome!
Last seen either entering or pottering about outside the Railwayman’s Arms in 2023, we are delighted to announce that we will be back out, dancing at various Severn Valley Railway stations on Saturday 20th July. There will be several dancing sides performing different styles throughout the day at Kidderminster, Bewdley, The Engine House, Highley and Bridgnorth. Come along and say ‘Hello’!
Once again the sun came out to play – as did we – and a fabulous day was had by all! The Bull and Pump Morris Men were so energetic they managed to jump out of the top of the picture while the Shrewsbury Lasses danced around in circles of excitement!
On Saturday 1st June we are off to Ossett in West Yorkshire to take part in the famous Ossett Beercart – a weekend of Morris dancing and family fun. We shall, of course, be happy to assist with hauling the Beercart before we set off in search of tea and cake – and somewhere to dance!
We may have mentioned in the past that the sun always shines on Shrewsbury Morris!! AND – today it did again – whoop whoop
We danced three fabulous spots between Noon and 2pm to the most appreciative Shrewsbury audiences.
We were able to showcase a couple of new dances that we have been working on over the winter break much to the delight of all present – dancers and audience alike!
Don’t miss us on Saturday 25th May at the Shropshire County Show, Berwick Showground.
