Crook Morris

Crook Morris We are a mixed morris team, performing dances from the Cotswolds, the Welsh Borders and Rapper dances from the North East of England.

Crook Morris is a mixed group of morris dancers based at Kendal, Cumbria, UK. Formed in 1981 after some years as part of Crook Folk Dance Group, the side has become a familiar sight around the UK, dancing at various festivals and events. We practise between 8 and 10pm on Mondays from October to March and we welcome new members, either dancers or musicians. No previous experience is necessary! The

best time to join is in October when we have New Members' Evenings to learn some of the easier dances. INCLUSIVITY

Crook Morris would like to make it clear that we are proud to be an inclusive organisation. Membership is, and always will be open to all, subject to a minimum age limit. Furthermore, we are proactive in standing against all forms of discrimination, both in the Morris world and in all sectors of our society. We want people from all backgrounds to enjoy our dancing, and not made to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable by any element of a performance or our community. PHOTOS

We’re very happy for people to use photographs of our side but only after permission has been granted by Crook Morris. Please contact us for further details. DISCLAIMER

We deplore the use of images, that are in any way connected with organisations or publications which use and condone discriminatory language and behaviour.

It's that time of year again when some of us get up in the wee small hours, sneak about in the dark, and dance up the most beautiful May Day sunrise!
We'll be up Scout Scar from 5am tomorrow, if you're crazy enough to fancy joining us! 😊🙃🌅 ###

For those who are going to Upton Folk Festival, the theme for this year's fancy dress party is Pantomime... oh no it isn't... oh yes it is! Really.
So get your Dame dresses, back end of a cow, and swashbuckling swords ready!
Usual sort of time on the Saturday evening.

Just like that, April is suddenly here! That means its just one week until we are performing at Damson Day on Saturday 11th April. It's always a lovely event celebrating local produce and crafts from the Lyth Valley. You can watch us performing at the South Entertainment area at 10:15am and 12:45pm.
