Sites of Interest
Here we shall be putting links to our friends and to other websites that we think might be interesting or useful.
- Open Morris
- One of the three morris organisations, and the one of which are a member side.
- Dark Dorset
- Dorset Folklore site. They have kindly been spreading the word about us, and for that alone they deserve a place on our link page. But the site is certainly worth checking out if you are interested in local folklore and customs.
- Wimborne Folk Festival
- A major local festival that can arguably boast having the largest gatherings of dance teams and musicians in the South of England. Wimborne is quite dear to our hearts.
- Morris Dancers of England
- A site that sells affordable DVDs of morris dancing. Lots of DVDS of individual sides. A much better way to watch morris dancing than low resolution clips on You Tube.
