As announced earlier this year at Folk Weekend: Oxford we now practice in the Jericho Community Centre in Oxford. In recent years more of our members have graduated/moved away from Southampton. We wanted to continue dancing and agreed on a more central location with good transport links, Oxford.

We are holding a taster session on the 25th September 2022, 11am-4pm at the Jericho Community Centre. This session is open to all new potential dancers and musicians. (There will be a small fee to help cover the cost of the hall)

If you're interested in joining us, please let us know!

It's a new year, it's January which means one thing, entertaining the crowds in the freezing cold at Whittlesea Straw Bear. This event falls out of the normal summer dance out season but it's a great event to do in cold winter months.

This was our first time at Straw Bear and what a great time we had. We were limited in our dances as we only had four dancers but we hope we put on a great show. We had lots of other dancers and members of the public come up to us complimenting us on our dancing. ​

After all the dancing was finished we all went for a team meal as we were all cold and hungry by this point, to be fair it was one of the tastiest pizzas we've ever had! At this point Gemma, Bob and George went back to Ham Towers while Rhys and I went back to the incredibly warm indoor camping and manage to haggle a couple of ceilidh tickets. (Ceilidh dancing isn't the best thing to do after a long days dancing, well not the way we do it.) 

After getting very little sleep the smaller nature of the Sunday proceedings was very welcome. We did two dances inside the school before going out for the burning of the bear. A very enjoyable end to a fantastic weekend, hopefully an event that will be in our calendars for years to come! 

We've had a very busy summer of dancing, dancing at many events and festivals!

We've travelled up and down the country, down to Hastings for the Jack in the Green festival and up to Nottingham for the Morris Federation AGM. We've had a ball and had lots of compliments from the public and Morris sides! Now to look forward to the practice season!
