Winchester Morris Men

We dance at variety of local functions and at a number of other venues, mainly during the summer, and often travel further afield to other sides' events - see the programme page for details of venues - please note the change of one of the venues for Wednesday 31 May 2023.

We try to pick venues where a decent pint of beer can be obtained after dancing, merely, of course, to prevent dehydration.

Occasionally we have the pleasure of travelling abroad and have danced in France, the Netherlands, Washington DC (with Foggy Bottom Morris Men) and even on the Isle of Wight, for those of us with the requisite visas!

We have also appeared in various radio and television productions - our most repeated performance appears to be in the 1992 BBC television adaptation of the Agatha Christie's Miss Marple story "The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side" which is broadcast with some regularity, especially on satellite and cable television.

Winchester Morris Men's last Annual General Meeting was on Wednesday 28th September 2022, at Twyford Parish Hall, when, in accordance with tradition, the proverbial deckchairs were rearranged.

We normally practise on Wednesdays thereafter until the end of April, starting at 8:00 p.m. at Twyford Parish Hall, Hazeley Road, Twyford, Winchester SO21 1QY (OS ref: SU 48188 24643). Please check with the Bagman before making a journey.

Between May and September we would normally dance at selected venues in and around Winchester on Wednesdays and at weekends - our programme gives further information.
