Coton Morris Men

Hamsters of Vandalwich

Coton Morris Men are a Cotswold morris side based in the Cambridge and South Fens area.

We are currently recruiting, so if you are interested in Morris dancing, drinking, hanging round pubs wearing bells, drinking, ritual frolicking, drinking or being in the greatest Morris side to grace the Fens, then contact Andy on 01480 810756, or e-mail KenHamilton at btinternet.com (apologies for not linking that, but I am not looking for cheap Viagra or Russian teenagers ... yet).

If you are not interested in joining in dancing, but want to watch, find out what we are about, why anyone would want to perform such a bizarre, interesting and historic pastime, then come along to one of the following pubs (there's a clue...) at the allotted time. Be warned, you may be exposed to bare knuckle dancing!
