Who are we?

Mucky Mountains Morris are a Cotswold and Border Morris side based around St Helens in Merseyside. We practise every Thursday night (all that practice, and we still dance like that!), enjoy ourselves immensely, and regularly dance out at local events, pubs, 'Days of Dance' and folk gatherings in the North West and beyond.

See our events list for where we are dancing next.
