Welcome

Welcome to the all-new Stafford Morris website!

Stafford Morris is a lively, mixed Cotswold-style Morris dancing team that loves to bring the joy of traditional English folk dance to life! We regularly travel across the beautiful counties of Staffordshire and Shropshire, sharing our high-energy performances at festivals, fairs, and local events. Whether it's a bustling village fete or a historic market town, we’re always ready to entertain with vibrant music, rhythmic sticks, and plenty of laughter. Come and experience the fun – we promise to leave you smiling and maybe even tapping your feet!

We are always looking for new dancers and musicians to join our side, so please check out the Join Us page if you're interested.

Our History

Morris dancing has been part of Stafford's history since the 1500's and the current Stafford Morris Side was formed in 1957. Originally called 'Stafford Morris Men', we changed our name in 2019 and welcomed women to come and join us.

The photograph below from our archives shows the Side dancing at Stafford Folk Dance Club on 15th February 1992.
