About 18-30

Morris 18-30 brings together morrismen from all over England, 'Club 18-30' style! This enables all the young morrismen to meet and get to know each other - keeping morris alive far into the future.

It offers a fantastic opportunity for these young dancers to perform at their peak, challenged by their peers - and a unique opportunity for audiences to see morris dancing performed with a great deal of enthusiasm and vigour.

Morris 18-30 is now in its 9th year. After dancing in towns and cities across England, this group of around 40 young men, representing 25 different morris teams, are to perform in Ashby, Burton and Packington.

See morris1830.org.uk for more information.
