The history of Morris dancing evening will be led by Morris dancing historians and dancers Stephen and Verna Wass.

The evening will start by discussing early documented performances from the late Middle Ages and trace the development of the tradition from courtly entertainment to rural pursuit.

Talks about the tradition's modern history and accounts of the origins and revival of the Adderbury Morris dancing tradition with music and costumes will follow.

People have been invited to learn about Banbury's rich history of Morris dancing at a talk held later this month.

Stephen Wass said: “Archaeologist Dr Stephen Wass takes on the history of the local tradition of Morris dancing. As well as busting a few myths about the Morris, he brings the story right up to date and illustrates their customs with examples of costumes, props, and instruments."

Held at the Warmington Village Hall on Thursday January 18 at 7.30pm. Admission is £2 for non Warmington Heritage Group members.
