During the summer we dance out on most Wednesday evenings at local pubs or venues, between May and October.
During the winter season we meet on Wednesday evenings at St Budeaux Church Hall, PL5 2HN, from 7.30pm - 9.30pm from October to April for our practices. Come along and have a go. Musicians and dancers welcome. Open to all. Free taster sessions every Wednesday until 29th April 2026! Come along for a great evening of keep fit, laughs and hopefully the start of a new hobby. We'll even buy you a drink after your first session at the pub afterwards!
No previous experience necessary. It's a great way to keep fit and it is a great social activity. Contact [email protected] for more info.

What's Happening Next?
2026 Programme Our summer programme for 2026 is currently taking shape. If you have any events coming up and would like us to perform for you, please get in touch with our Bagman, Marion, via [email protected] . On Boxing Day we raised £86.56 for Marie Curie from our dancing and the Plymouth Mummers' Play at The Ferry House Inn, Saltash Passage. On New Year's Day we collected £250.00 for the Landlady at The Dolphin, Michelle's, nominated Charity - 'Keeping it Close' for parents and families whose babies are sick or pre-term and need the ICU at Derriford Hospital. Photos of our trip to the Plough Tour in Birmingham City Centre hosted by Jockey Morris can be found here . Our provisional 2026 Programme is available here, but it is still being compiled so things may change. Meanwhile, why not come along to one of our practices which are held every Wednesday until the end of April, at 7.30pm at St. Budeaux Church Hall, The Green, Higher St. Budeaux, PL5 2HN. All potential dancers or musicians are welcome. No experience necessary. Below is a photo of us dancing at Sidmouth Folk Week on Sunday 3rd August 2025.

Our Book About ... The Plymouth Morris Tradition The Plymouth Morris Tradition is a set of (mostly) four man dances first performed in public during 1989. A new 24 page book compiles a short history of early Morris dancing (including Tudor records for Plymouth), and the music and dance notation for the tradition. The book is available as a free download using this link. The book is also available in a paperback edition for £3 in person, or £4 including postage and packing (cheques payable to Plymouth Morris should be sent to Plymouth Morris, 92 Ponsonby Road, Plymouth PL3 4HW). The proceeds from the sale of the book were dedicated to renewal of the Plymouth Morris costume for the Mayflower 400 celebrations. If you've seen us recently, have found this site helpful or have any comments to make about the site, please e-mail us via the 'Contact Us' page. It would be great to hear from you.
