The Morris Ring was formed in 1934 and currently is an association of some 180 morris, sword and mummers clubs and teams keeping our wonderful traditions alive. Full details of our membership benefits and process can be found on the A guide to Membership page.

When the website migrated to a new platform we were able to incorporate many improvements. We carried out extensive quality checks, but should you find any problems with the new pages, please let me know. Enjoy.... webeditor [at] themorrisring.org (Peter de Courcy - Web Editor)
