Bring your craft with you, or let me know if you would like to try or want help with any of the following: spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet, felting as there are regulars who do any or all of these and we just need to bring the appropriate equipment. Everyone is happy to share their knowledge and many people simply bring what they are doing to do it in company with like-minded people. No pressure! If you would like me to I can also bring my wood block printing kit with some blank tea towels for you to have a go at (cost £2.50). You don’t need to have done this before as it is easy to pick up and make good presents. Feel free to contact me with any queries.

Bathampton Morris Men
2026-05-21 21:00 - 22:00 | The Compton Inn, The Compton Inn, Court Hill , Compton Dando, Bristol, BS39 4JZ, United Kingdom
Bathampton Morris Men will dance at the Compton Inn (9pm) on Thursday 21st May 2026.
We are a traditional Cotswold Morris side, formed over 90 years ago and since then we have been dancing for our own pleasure, and for that of our audiences.
We practise from October to April in the church hall, Winsley, and if you wish to join us you can find us behind the Winsley Club. We are conveniently accessible from Bath, Bradford on Avon and Trowbridge, although members come from Frome, Chippenham, Melksham and even as far away as Shepton Mallett. Recruits can be sure of a warm welcome and active tuition, which will involve joining in with dances right from the start. A drink afterwards and good fun are two of the advantages of joining our side, as well as carrying on a living tradition and getting enjoyable exercise.
We are a men’s side at the moment although we welcome women who have danced with other sides, but women who wish to learn our heritage of traditional dances will find plenty of women’s sides such as Mr Wilkin’s Shilling (Bath), Bounds of Selwood (Frome) or Bells Angels (Holt) as well as White Horse Morris (Westbury), which is mixed. An internet search will provide the required information.
Further information about our side and about traditional Morris dancing can be found on our website https://bathampton.dance/
