Celebrating 100 years of Morris Dancing in Ripley
In 2025 Ripley Morris in partnership with Ripley Green Garters will mark the 100th anniversary of the first recorded instance of morris dancing in Ripley which took place in 1925. Morris dancing in Ripley evolved from the Ripley Folk Dance club formed in 1925.
A Day of Dance will take place in Ripley on Saturday 13th September 2025. The day will be run on JMO lines with sides dancing around the town. There will be plenty of opportunities for refreshment during the day with sides catering for their own needs.
Indications of interest in attending the day are invited from all member sides of the Morris Ring, Morris Federation, and Open Morris. To assist in planning sides are requested to indicate interest by email to ripleymorris [at] hotmail.com with the subject Ripley 100 by January 31st 2025.
Ripley Morris and Ripley Green Garters look forward to hearing from you and welcoming you all to a cracking Day of Dance on 13th September 2025.
Cheers
Mick Buckley – former everything.
