Kennet Morris Men: The Movie - Now showing on the About Kennet page

The Kennet Morris Men are based in the Reading area, although you can see us performing throughout Berkshire and South Oxfordshire.

We perform dances in the distinctive styles that developed in the Cotswold villages of Adderbury, Bucknell, Fieldtown, Hinton, Kirtlington and Sherborne, and farther afield in the City of Lichfield and Upton upon Severn.

We are members of the Morris Ring which maintains the records and standards of the various dances.

Our dancing season starts at sunrise on May 1st and continues through to September. During the season we go out one evening each week to dance at some of the local hostelries. At weekends we can be seen dancing at fetes and shows, and we often go on tour with other Morris sides. From October to April we meet on Monday evenings to continue practising our dances and to learn new ones.

We dance the Morris because we enjoy it, because we want to maintain a unique part of our cultural heritage, and because our audiences are entertained by watching us and participating in the Luck of the Morris.

We are always pleased to welcome new members as either dancers or musicians, to ensure that Morris continues to be danced in the Reading area for many more years to come.

We hope this website contains everything you might want to know about us but if there's something you can't find please contact us and we'll be happy to help.
