Mersey Morris is unusual in that it has two ceremonial staffs of office from the Morris Ring. These date back to at least the 1950s (and possibly another 15-20yrs before that) and were combined when the Liverpool Morris Men merged with the Wirral Men in 1962 to become the Mersey Morris Men.

Little known fact : Morris dancing is the main purpose of pub gardens. It’s what they were designed for.

This week’s helium-balloons-on-the-ceiling-of-Morris-practice haul. It’s a double! Always a good omen.

Want to feel the magic of Morris? Come and try it out at our taster sessions for the next two Mondays (6th and 13th January). Learn what double stepping, a half hey, and kick capers are (ok, maybe not kick capers). The fun starts at 8pm, Thornton Hough Village Hall, Wirral CH63 1JB. Be there!

Heap on more wood! The wind is chill, But let it whistle as it will, We'll keep our Christmas merry still Twas Christmas broached the mightiest ale. Twas Christmas told the merriest tale. A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year” 11am today Willaston green

Every year we ritually behead a Father Christmas and return his body to the earth to ensure a good harvest for the next year.

Is it even a Morris practice in a village hall if there isn’t a helium balloon stuck in the ceiling?
