Stroud Morris Men were formed in 1978, and were joined rapidly by Stroud Morris Ladies to make up a joint team. Gradually, the Morris Men have left, and Stroud Morris Ladies have persisted, so we are now a ladies' side.

 

We have always been very interested in keeping a high quality of dance, but we are able to do this whilst enjoying ourselves - and hopefully giving enjoyment to our audiences at the same time!

 

Stroud Ladies were the first women's Cotswold side to be invited to dance in the arena at the prestigious Sidmouth International Folk Festival. Over the last 10 years we have been invited back several times, once as part of the Morris On show. We've had the honour of performing in several of these shows, featuring music and dances from the album Grandson of Morris On which we were selected by Ashley Hutchings to perform.
