Wickham Morris is a Morris side based at Wickham in Hampshire. Morris is a form of traditional English folk dance, and Wickham is near the middle of the English south coast.

Wickham Morris welcome you to this site and would love to see you at any of our events - see our diary for our current season. Or please mail us - see our contacts page - especially if you would like to book us for your event or wish to join us. We dance at pubs, charity events and also for commercial events and each year we raise over a £1000 for charity from these sessions. When not elsewhere, we meet each Thursday in Shedfield, near Wickham and end up singing in the Wheatsheaf down the road - so come and join us at this super pub.

Wickham Morris has been going for quite a time now and we have a history both of us and also about the history of Morris dancing itself. Or if you like your information visually, see our super gallery of pictures of us over the years.

See our dances page for information on the dances and the music we use. We have included a small sample on this page which we recorded. Click here to hear a snippet from our great band. Or you could see a short video of us dancing by clicking here.

Wickham Morris are delighted to have had a piece of music broadcast on Radio 4's PM programme in November 2009. PM had a business section called "Upshares, Downshares" and has been introducing this by playing music submitted by listeners based on the "Upstairs, Downstairs" TV show theme. Someone submitted what they called a Morris version, but since they admitted that they had no idea of Morris dancing and only had an electronic piano, the result was predictably awful. We felt we could do a bit better and you can hear our effort by clicking here.

PS The Government is gradually killing off live music in pubs by over licensing the activity. We love singing and playing in pubs after our dance sessions. Please sign up to a petition that tries to influence some easing of the licensing conditions. See here
