Berkeley Morris, 2025
What a great evening. The weather was perfect, the crowd was large and appreciative and we had the chance to meet and dance with the fabulous Berkeley Morris all the way from California! We met in Boscastle Harbour, just outside The Museum of Witchcraft and Magic (our sponsor this year) to enjoy an evening of…

The Cobweb, 2025
A chance to dance out locally, in our own village, is always welcome. After a quick review we chose to dance in the carpark just over the road as it was still sunny there and there was more room – our audience came over too and sat on the grass or stood around to watch.…

May Day 2025
The 1st May is the start ofthe Morris dancing season and most sides will be out dancing up the sun to make sure that it rises for the rest of the year. As in 2024, we decided it was better to dance down the sun as getting up early (sunrise was around 5.30) is hard…

The Cobweb, 2024
We decided to dance a little earlier tonight as the England/Netherlands Euro 24 match was on at 8pm and we didn’t want to steal their audience! After weekes of bad weather we were lucky to have a completely rain-free evening to dance. Our thanks to the Cobweb Inn for allowing the outside tables to be…

The Napoleon, 2024
A sunny evening at The Napoleon Inn in Boscastle, our home turf. An excellent audience, which was great but meant that we had very little space to dance in – this led to some bumping and lots of laughing. We started with our Ow Tevi, as usual, and a Bear Down and danced most of…

Boscastle, 2024
For the second week in a row we danced at the harbour in Boscastle. This was a quieter affair than the May Day one but we still pulled an appreciative audience and had a good dance. Starting, as we always will now, with our Ow Tevi and a quick Bear Down Man we moved on…
