We are a mixed dance side formed in 1978 in the Huntingdonshire village of Fenstanton, taking the lion from the squire's coat of arms for our mascot. The dances performed are from the Cotswold villages, the current repertoire includes dances from Badby, Bampton, Adderbury, Fieldtown, Juniper Hill and Raglan, as well as our own tradition Fenstanton. We traditionally dance out on Boxing Day, and at dawn on May 1st at the clock tower in the village of Fenstanton as well as other events and festivals throughout the year. We have performed at festivals in England, Shetland, Huntingdon’s twin towns in France and Germany and have toured the East Coast of the USA from New York to Maine, Huntingdon Pennsylvania and at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. Fenstanton Morris were instrumental in setting up Open Morris, the umbrella organisation with an emphasis on mixed gender dance teams, when Cotswold Morris was then considered by many, to be a male preserve.
New members are always welcome, please get in touch. We hope to see you soon!
The team practise from the start of October until the end of April on Monday evenings (from 7.45pm to 9.45pm) at the Church Centre, School Lane, (off Chequer Street) Fenstanton, Huntingdon PE28 9JR. If you wish to join us as a dancer or a musician please contact our Bagman whose email address is fenstantonbag@gmail.com.
