Thaxted Morris Weekend 3-4 June 2017
A meeting of member clubs of the Morris Ring celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Thaxted Morris Dancing side or team in Thaxted, North West Essex, England UK.
Mass dancing from different Morris sides at The Fox in Finchingfield Essex.
Hundred of Morris dancers from the UK and this year the Silkeborg side from Denmark spend most of Saturday dance outside pubs in nearby villages where much beer is consumed. In the late afternoon all the sides congregate in Thaxted where massed dancing is perfomed along Town Street. As darkness falls across Thaxted the spell binding Abbots Bromley Horn Dance is performed to the sound of a solo violin in the dark.
