Read all about it!
The JMO Day of Dance in Stockport, hosted by Adlington Morris Men on behalf of the Morris Ring, was a huge success! With 51 teams and almost 1000 morris dancers filling the town with bells, music and dancing on Saturday, it was one of the largest morris events to ever take place.
Local media reported that it was the busiest day in Stockport in the last 3 years, and ITV News Granada also picked up the story Morris dancers take over the streets of Stockport.
The Morris Federation would like to extend our thanks to the organisers of such a wonderful JMO DOD. It was one to remember for sure!
