The team was formed in 1978, this was with local men who had previously danced with the Abingdon Morris and also with other men who were either born locally or have resided in the town for many years. The team has connections with a long line of Abingdon Morris dancers going back many generations and decided to take their name from an earlier dancer "Tom Hemmings", it is in recognition of his effort and contribution to the Abingdon Morris that the present team decided to call themselves “Mr Hemmings Traditional Abingdon Morris Dancers.

We are recruiting – come and join us!

We are a rare, mixed (male and female) Morris team based in Abingdon and we are recruiting dancers and musicians to join us to spread the joy of Morris Dancing and keep this great tradition going.

We are a relaxed and friendly social bunch with a strong heritage in Abingdon that goes back over 300 years. Our new season has started and if you have ever considered joining a Morris team, now is a great time as we have just started practicing for our 2023 schedule.
We practice on Monday evenings at the Royal British Legion starting at 8pm for an hour each week. Not only are we maintaining a good old English tradition, but we are also keeping fit, making friends and entertaining folk when we are out and about. It’s a good laugh and no experience is necessary.

If you would like to know more, please contact Les, our “bagman” either by email [email protected] or telephone 01235 520812.
