We are proud to announce that the Joint Morris Organisations' Day of Dance 2025 will be held on Saturday 26th April in Stockport.
From 10am – 5pm, visitors will experience a fusion of tradition and energy, with traditional Morris jigs, high-energy folk jam sessions, impromptu dance-offs and lively street performances at key locations including the Underbanks, Merseyway, Prince’s Street, Suffragette Square and Market Place. Rounding off the day in true folk-style, there will also be an unmissable free Ceilidh at St Mary’s Church, featuring a live folk band, pop-up craft beer bar and delicious street food.
Due to a huge amount of interest in the JMO Day of Dance (26/4/25, Stockport) from the media, we're determined to push the event even further! To this end, we're reopening registrations for a very limited time - if you're not yet signed up and would like to take part, please email jmo2025 [at] adlingtonmorrismen.com no later than 28th February. Indoor camping is available, and we'd love to see you!
Thanks

Adlington Morris Men are already hard at work organising what's promising to be the biggest and best JMO yet. The local council, shops and businesses are all pulling together to organise a full day and evening of events, and your side is invited to be part of it!
From Morris-themed family craft activities to folky fringe events, the whole of the town centre will be filled with the sound of bells throughout the day, before giving way to an absolutely free ceilidh afterparty with live band, pop-up craft beer bar and street food stalls - with ticket priority given to you!
With pubs already talking about how they can get involved (Morris Ale, anyone?) and more and more people wanting in on the action, Stockport 2025 is shaping up to be a JMO not to be missed.
We're handily located on major railway routes and three motorways, so getting here couldn't be easier. If you're travelling from further afield, you might want to make a weekend of it - we've arranged a number of accommodation options, including hotels at discounted rates, camping/motorhome pitches, and are offering low-cost indoor camping. You can give us details of your plans when you register, and we'll then be in touch with the relevant information.
We've also got a few surprises (and more freebies!) up our sleeves too.
The event sponsors, Totally Stockport, have created a Facebook Event which they'll use to further publicise the occasion
