Five Rivers Morris is a Cotswold morris team based in Sheffield.

We’ve been dancing around Sheffield and at festivals and events across the country since 2008.

We don’t take ourselves too seriously but we do think morris is a unique tradition and art form deserving of respect and recognition. So wherever we’re performing, we aspire to dance with energy, enthusiasm and precision.

Autumn 2024 new starters

We’re looking for men interested in having a go at morris dancing during autumn 2024. We run open practices throughout October and November to give you a flavour of morris and help you decide if it’s for you.

Practices are relaxed and fun. You’ll initially learn some basics with other newbies separate to the main team before having a go at a dance in set with the rest of the team. Within a few weeks we get most new dancers fully incorporated into sets.

We had five new dancers join the team in 2023, all of whom went on to dance out in kit during summer 2024, including at our festival bookings.
