Thursday 27th May will see our local Morris dancers entertaining with toe-tapping music and stick clashing exciting dances outside two village pubs when Uttoxeter Heart of Oak Morris pay their annual visit to Barton under Needwood.

Uttoxeter Morris perform traditional English dances from the Cotswolds and from Lichfield and are currently enjoying growing numbers following the success of their Staffordshire County Council funded free evening classes and recruitment campaign. We’re always on the look-out for new recruits! Could it be that day’s full moon that sets us off?

How about bringing friends and family to see this colourful show and give Uttoxeter Morris a big welcome to our historic & vibrant village of Barton?  After our show at the Royal Oak we’re hoping to bring some impromptu folk music and singing to the Bar to complete the evening.

Uttoxeter Morris will be dancing at the Shoulder of Mutton in the village centre at 7.45 p.m. and the Royal Oak, Barton Green at 8.45 p.m. on Thursday 27th May.
