Based in Marksbury, Somerset Morris meet once a week to have fun and keep fit, at the same time as keeping the tradition alive. The music comes from a bunch of talented musicians, led by eighteen year-old Rhianne.

Now they are offering the public the chance to have a go at a taster evening, to be held on Thursday, 24th November at 8pm in Marksbury Village Hall, BA2 9HS. Everyone is welcome.

With bells, sticks, hankies and brass topped staves, Somerset Morris perform both in the local area and further afield. Festivals, fetes and pubs are all possible venues for their energetic dancing, and trips to France and Germany have featured in the last couple of years, as their Facebook page shows. A flourishing side, they are keen to share their love of the dance with others.
