Who are Ælfgythe Border Morris?
We are a Border Morris side based in the village of Alvechurch, Worcestershire who have been happily bouncing about since December 2008.
As well as maintaining a long standing tradition, we get together to dance, play music and to have fun!
Dancing is a fantastic way of improving fitness levels, reducing stress and keeping the mind active - learning new moves and working as part of a team can be really satisfying.
All our dancers are women, and we have men and women musicians. The pictures below are our Officers
Where to find us
We go to various festivals throughout the season and dance out at local events and venues - see our Facebook page for latest news.
Every February we continue the tradition of the annual Wassail with dancing, processing through the streets of Alvechurch, song, loud bangs, giving and consuming cider and hanging toast in a tree to ensure a good apple harvest.
Fancy joining us?
We meet for practice on Wednesday evenings in the Baptist Church Hall, 29 Red Lion Street, Alvechurch B48 7LG from 20:00 until 22:00 - except during August when we take a well-earned break.
