2023 Programme
Our programme for 2023 can be found here, or on our '2023 Programme' page. Our summer season has now finished but we still have a few events in the coming weeks. We have a couple of weeks off before we restart our practice season. Our AGM will be held on Wednesday 18th October, and then we will be holding some weekly taster sessions for anyone thinking of joining us. These will start on Wednesday 25th October at 7.30pm - 9.30pm. See the poster below. Please note all dates are provisional, unless otherwise stated, and are subject to change. Any cancellations to the programme due to this will be posted on this page so always check back here for the latest information. Foreign Trips
Plymouth Morris have had several foreign trips in recent years, including Helmond in The Netherlands in 2005 and 2023, a trip to Hungary and Serbia in July 2006 and Jersey in May 2007. In August 2009 we went to south-western France for the 50th Annual International Folklore Festival at Montrejeau. We have had several trips to Brest in conjunction with the Plymouth-Brest Twinning Association, including the Maritime Festival held every 4 years. 
New 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 will be 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.
