🪗Women's Cotswold Morris side from Oxford
🌾Dancing traditions from Ascott, Wheatley, and Ducklington
🧵Email us for bookings or to join the side

Summertown Morris are a women's Cotswold Morris side formed in Autumn 2011. We dance in a number of traditions from the Oxfordshire villages of Ascott-under-Wychwood, Wheatley, and Ducklington. If anyone is interested in joining or coming along for a practice please get in touch - experience is welcome but not compulsory, and we'd love to see you. Our dancers are female, and we welcome musicians o

f all genders. We currently practice every Monday evening from 19:30 - 20:30 at the Cumnor United Reformed Church Hall OX2 9QF, but it's always worth messaging us to confirm beforehand.

We're looking forward to heading to Shrewsbury Folk Festival this weekend for a long weekend of dancing and making new friends! Here's our full schedule of where we'll be, including the parade on Sunday and a ceilidh spot Monday lunchtime. Oh, and look out for our group costume at the Greek Mythology themed ceilidh on Saturday night... 🐟🐙🦑

It's only a week until we head over to Shrewsbury Folk Festival in Shropshire! Our schedule is already on the website, and will be on our Instagram next week - we'll be at the festival site and in the town centre, so lots of opportunities to see us dance. Here's some slo-mo film of us at May Morning in Oxford, with a soundtrack of Bailey & Keely (who you can also see at Shrewsbury, in the dance tent at 11:30 on Saturday morning) 🌿

We've reached the end of our pub nights season, and what a lovely one it's been! Here are some photos from dance outs at The Plough Inn - Finstock, in Eynsham (including joining Eynsham Morris for Jockey), and at The Boat Inn Thrupp. Thank you to all the teams we've danced with, the pubs who've hosted us, and everyone who's come to watch 💙

We've got a couple more festivals still this summer - Shrewsbury Folk Festival at the end of August and BunkFest the weekend after - so more details to follow about those soon!

Just one more pub night this year with our good friends Eynsham Morris, and then it's on to festivals for the rest of the summer! We're looking forward to dancing at White Horse Folk festival, Shrewsbury Folk Festival and BunkFest - full schedules coming soon. And you never know, you might catch us busking at The Sidmouth Folk Festival as well! 🎪

We had a lovely time dancing in Abingdon at the weekend for the Election of the Mayor of Ock Street! Thank you to Abingdon Traditional Morris Dancers for the invite, and it was lovely to see Oxford City and University Morris there too. 🐮

We're hiding from the heat this week, but will be back with two pub danceouts next week - on the 29th of June in Finstock, and the 1st of July in Sunningwell.
