The Wild Hunt Bedlam Morris

If you don't think you're a morris dancer, I dare you to come and prove it at our open practice in Croydon on the 18th of November - the answer may surprise you.

Wild Hunt Morris Practice - new members welcome Come join us at our regular Tuesday Morris Dancing practice session. No experience necessary, a welcoming crowd and a fantastic instructor.

It would have been pretty cool marketing if I'd started putting Wild Hunt practices up on eventbrite a month ago and could have said "come to a practice on the night of the full hunter's moon", but alas.
Instead, I get to invite you to the 4th of November, the night of the uuhh..
The 99% Waxed Beaver Moon, apparently.

Wild Hunt are under new management!

First of all, enormous thanks to our outgoing officers, to our fantastic Reeve Chris, and to Paul, our hardworking Lord of the Wildwood for some 21 years, who will be staying on in the role of Green Man.

Filling these mighty boots, we have:

-Rosie Mott taking a sideways promotion from Herald to become the new Lord of the Wildwood
-Leo Samson as the new Herald
-The incomparable David Somner stepping in as Reeve, and reviving the role of Enlightener to whip us into dancing shape

Outside of the new officers, this year has given us a bumper crop of new blood among the dancers. There has never been a better time to drop by and join a practice if you want to catch the start of a new chapter.

Lying awake at half past midnight dreaming of those excellent Morris Dancers you saw earlier? They definitely want you to come and try out dancing with them!

We practice twice a month, and you are in luck, our next session is only 5 days away! We know you will love it! Give us a shout or just show up, we will be delighted to see you 🖤🤍💚🖤🤍❤️

A wonderful evening ! Thank you for having us and Wassailing your wonderful apple tree!

See you next year!

Piqued your interest? We're practicing next Tuesday and would LOVE to see anyone who wants to give Morris dancing a go!

Morning! We're out and about on the Croydon tram today, dancing at as many places as we can muster!

We've got a plan, but as with all the best of intentions, we may have to be flexible with it! We'll be updating our location in the comments as often as possible, in case anyone is trying to catch up with us!

We're starting at the Crown Inn next to Mitcham Tram Stop at 12:30. Join us for a lovely day of dance and local landmarks!

Just a reminder—tomorrow night, we’re bringing Morris dancing to the heart of Croydon! 🌙 Join us for an evening dance-out starting at Ludoquist at 6:30 PM. We’ll be dancing our way up Surrey Street, with stops at some of Croydon’s best pubs, before ending the night at The Spread Eagle.

Come along for a drink, some lively performances, and a lot of fun. Don’t miss out on what’s sure to be an unforgettable evening!

We're hitting the end of the dance-out season with a second dance-out in a week! On Sunday, 29th September, we’re taking our moves on a daytime tour of the Croydon tram stops and surrounding landmarks. We’ll be bringing Morris dancing to new locations around the tram network, so keep an eye out for us as you ride!
It’s going to be a day full of fun, dance, and community spirit—don’t miss it!

Starting at 12:30 at the Crown inn in Mitcham with 5 further stops before we end at the Shirley Hills Viewing Point near Coombe Lane.

Join us for the full day, or maybe catch us at one of our many locations, we would love to see you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday, and to those who got waylaid by the overground issues, we hope you had a lovely evening nonetheless! We loved dancing with you and showing you our lovely dances!

If you want to see us in-action we are dancing out next Tuesday, starting at 6:30 outside the Ludoquist, and making our way up Surrey Street. If you're a photographer we know this will be an atmospheric one, with lovely contrast between our kit and the urban centre of Croydon, so do join us!

Our next practice is not for a little bit (we need to have our AGM!) but we will be happily welcoming anyone who is keen to join us on Tuesday 15th October 8-10pm

Come along, try something different, and light up your darkening evenings with dance.

Just a reminder—our next Morris dance practice is coming up tomorrow!

Join us on Tuesday 17th September from 8 PM to 10 PM at St. Luke's Church Hall, SE25. Whether you’re new or returning, we’d love to see you there. It’s the perfect way to spend an evening as the nights start to draw in, getting active and having fun with a great group of people!

No experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm and let’s dance!
