A little snapshot of some of the things the Belles saw at yesterday’s Whittlesea Straw Bear celebrations! We’re so thrilled to have been invited to dance here this year - and now we’ve all thawed our toes out overnight, look out for us at the burning of the bear today…

The 125th anniversary Boxing Day meeting of Headington Quarry Morris Dancers with Rapper sword dancing, the battle of Good vs Evil, Headington Hand bell Ringers, and an appearance by Beelzebub. Great tradition, and great entertainment! #BoxingDay #OX3 #MorrisDancing @headingtonnews.bsky.social

A group of five men in dark trousers, white shirts and red sashes with a blue design on it are holding crossed steel swords in front of the man in the centre. A man dressed as Father Christmas is in the background playing a violin. There are other people in the background. The performance is outside a pub.

To the left a man is dressed as King George, wearing a chainmail vest with a red cross, a silver "crown", and is carrying a (wooden) sword. To the right with his back towards the camera is a man in a blue patterned outfit, a dark red fez, and is holding a black round shield and a silver (wooden) scimitar. In the background to the left is a table covered with a tartan blanket. There are two bright yellow metal posts centre and right, and right at the back a large pub window and door.

A group of people standing behind and to the left of a table covered with a tartan rug and wearing Santa hats are playing Christmas Carols on hand bells. In the foreground to the right is a bright yellow metal post. There are people watching in the background standing outside the door and windows of a pub.

In the centre foreground is a young man with long hair wearing a flower covered hat. In his right hand he is holding a piece of wood roughly shaped as a club, and in his left hand is holding a tinsel covered small pot. He's wearing a formal long black jacket. In the background are men dressed as Santa Claus, King George. There are various parents and children watching.

Really enjoying this poster my parents made in 1982 to try and get people to join their morris dancing side.

A hand written poster with two illustrations of morris dancers on it. One is dressed in the traditional outfit of a male morris dancer and the other female.

The text which is hand written in marker pen with lots of underlining and full caps reads:

"Are you interested in
1. dressing up in strange clothes
2. standing around outside public houses?
3. leaping around to odd sounding instruments?
4. using two handkerchiefs at the same time?

If so then Morris Dancing is the thing for you!

Men and women wanted. No age limit, no experience needed!

Practices will start in September on Tuesday evenings at the Red Lion Crewkerne.

Interested? Contract Richard and Bev at 60 Hermitage St. or ring 75595"

Another trip down memory lane. This time 2006 and unless I'm mistaken, the earliest recorded photograph featuring our George (the fish).

seven Morris dancers stand in a line and raise their hats. In the middle of the row is a man with a very large papier-mâché model of a fish on his head.

Thoroughly enjoyed dancing with Beltane Border Morris at @rammuseum.bsky.social tonight as part of their exhibition Dartmoor: A Radical Landscape. Morris sides are often influenced by their surroundings and their members and we've loved embedding the spirit of Dartmoor into much of our repertoire.
