Dancing in Watford for over four decades

Woodside Morris Men have been dancing since 1957, their roots stretching back to the members of the Phoenix folk club, based in Woodside Park, Finchley.

The Side is now based in Watford, where they have been since the mid 1960s.

Woodside dance predominantly at pubs in the Watford, Hemel Hempstead and Rickmansworth area, but go further afield for special occasions, special bookings, folk festivals such as Whitby, Chippenham and Wimborne, and other events across the country. Even the occasional foreign tour.

What do Morris Dancers do in the winter?

Throughout the winter, between September and May, Woodside practise on Wednesday nights at the Pump House Arts Centre, just off the lower high street in Watford. The team are always on the lookout for men of any age who would like to try their hand at the English martial art, so if you are interested, why not give it a try!

Please use the navigation bar above to find out a little more about Woodside Morris Men, Morris Dancing in general, what Morris Dancers get up to all year round, or the English Folk Scene. A further nav bar will appear when you have accessed a 'chapter' of the site. Return to the Home Page by clicking on the Woodside banner on the top left of any page.

Wassail!
