Mendip Morrismen

Celebrating their 51st anniversary, the Mendip Morris Men have always danced throughout the North Somerset area, performing the traditional dances of the Cotswolds.Mendip Morris Men can be identified by their red, gold and blue baldricks (crossed sashes) adorned with King Alfred’s jewel at the back and the Somerset wyvern at the front. Black breeches and gaily decorated straw hats complete the outfit.Each summer, on Thursday evenings, we dance outside local pubs and in village centres, bringing with us the exciting sight and sound of this ancient custom.
