For Morris dancers, the #practice season is about to start. In the #winter months we hone our #craft, revisiting our #dances. We also welcome new members who would like to learn our #traditional #performance art.

#MorrisDancing is fun, sociable and keeps you fit. Why not try it?

**BOXING DAY PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN POSTPONED** Sadly 😥 we will not be able to bring our dances and #Mummersplay back to Datchet Green on Boxing Day 2021. But do not despair: our performance is postponed, not cancelled! 😊A new date will be shared in due course.

Wassail!
New Year, and a new venture for us. Normally in #midwinter we’d be passing the #wassailbowl around a fire with friends, #singing songs, #morrisdancing and blessing the trees. So why should this year be any different? 🌳Everyone can join this time! https://t.co/JNMuLaT2WA

[DatchetBorderMorris @DatchetMorris]

It’s #BoxingDay, it’s 10:45 and it’s time for the #traditional #Datchet #MummersPlay! We are not live this year, but you can see our *new* #virtual play here https://t.co/n9O2Gxenec

[DatchetBorderMorris @DatchetMorris]

Good news! (And aren’t we ready for some good news?)
Datchet Border Morris’s Boxing Day Mummers’ Play has been brought forward, and is now available to enjoy online! https://t.co/n9O2Gxenec

[DatchetBorderMorris @DatchetMorris]

This year, #RemembranceSunday in #Datchet will be mainly online. We are supporting @DatchetRBL with our usual donation in lieu of a wreath at the village War Memorial in honour of all those who have suffered through conflict. #EveryPoppyCounts @PoppyLegion
