SUMMARY:Joint Morris Organisations' Day of Dance 2025 (Stockport)
DESCRIPTION:Joint Morris Organisations’ Day of Dance 2025 (Stockport)\n \n  \n  \n  \nThe JMO National Day of Dance is a collaborative event organised in turn by one of the three morris organisations in the UK – The Morris Federation\, The Morris Ring\, and Open Morris. The day of dance is a celebration of morris and traditional dancing held annually at a different location around the UK. \nIn 2025 the day of dance is on Saturday 26th April 2025 in Stockport\, Greater Manchester\, hosted by Adlington Morris Men on behalf of the Morris Ring. \n‘Totally Stockport’ have created a facebook event for the public: A Day of Dance for Stockport (1000 Morris Dancers) on Facebook \n\nBookings closed; contact the organisers in case there are spare places. \n\nParticipants – all your info in one place\nHere you can find all the info you need in one place: https://linktr.ee/jmo2025 \nThis includes the Participants’ Information Booklet\, how to get Saturday evening Ceilidh tickets\, and more. \nHere’s the JMO Stockport Leaflet [PDF] available on the day: \n \n\n\nMore details\nAdlington Morris Men sent us the following details: \nAdlington Morris Men are already hard at work organising what’s promising to be the biggest and best JMO yet.  The local council\, shops and businesses are all pulling together to organise a full day and evening of events\, and your side is invited to be part of it! \n\n\nFrom Morris-themed family craft activities to folky fringe events\, the whole of the town centre will be filled with the sound of bells throughout the day\, before giving way to an absolutely free ceilidh afterparty with live band\, pop-up craft beer bar and street food stalls – with ticket priority given to you! \n\n\nWe’re handily located on major railway routes and three motorways\, so getting here couldn’t be easier. \n\n\nParking \nCentral Stockport has ample parking for cars\, but all of these are at a cost.  Alternatively\, a free Park and Ride car park (without height restrictions) can be found in Hazel Grove\, a 15 minute £2 bus ride from the town centre. \nAccommodation \n\nIndoor camping is in the rather plush 1st Bramhall Scout HQ\, charging just enough to cover our costs.  It’s warm and has a shower\, is right by Bramhall station (10 minutes from Stockport) and has free parking.  Let us know if your side might like a space or six.\nHappy Valley Campers have agreed to host any tents and motorhomes you might like to bring\, and are an easy ten minute bus ride from central Stockport. It’s a turn-up-and-pay affair at £10 pppn.\nIf any of your side would like to stay at the Holiday Inn Express at the discounted B&B rate of £129 per room per night (a saving of £25 off the usual)\, this needs to booked directly.  Call the hotel on 0161 359 6363 and ask to speak to Hannah Marshall before the end of December to secure your room.\n\n  \nAssembly and Sign-in \nPlease ensure a member of your side signs in at the Welcome Desk in Viaduct park between 9.30 and 10.00 and receives your Welcome Pack\, and ensure that your side is all present and correct by 10.00.  After a welcome at 10:15 from your hosts\, Adlington Morris Men\, the Morris Ring\, and (if she is able to attend) the Mayor of Stockport\, please then assemble your side at your allocated position\, referring to the signage around the park\, ready for the short parade through Merseyway (one of Stockport’s main thoroughfares) and up to the Marketplace (including a short but fairly steep hill\, but with lift access available.  From there\, sides will disperse to their first performance locations of the day. \n\n\nBeer \nWe’re working with The Baker’s Vaults\, an historic pub in Stockport\, to put a special JMO DoD beer on tap.  The trouble is that it doesn’t have a name yet – answers on a postcard/email. \nLunchtime music session \nAt lunch\, 13:00-15:00\, we’ll be organising a lunchtime music session in case you really haven’t heard enough tunes already. \nEvening Ceilidh – free \nIn the evening\, there will be a totally free ceilidh in the historic St Mary’s Church overlooking Stockport marketplace; the band and caller are booked\, as is the bar\, so all we need is you! Doors open 19:00\, ceilidh 19:30-22:45.  Attendance at the ceilidh is free but\, in order to manage numbers\, places must be booked.  Details of this will be sent out closer to the time.  There will be a bar\, and food available to buy throughout the evening. \nOther things in the pipeline \nShire horses… children’s crafts… street food… thousands of stickers… the customary leather badges… workshops…  The list is growing! \nScratch Side(s) \nWe’ve been contacted by a few people whose sides haven’t quite got the numbers to dance out at the JMO DoD\, but would really like to join anyway.  We’re therefore organising a venue for a scratch side (or perhaps multiple\, depending on numbers and traditions) to practise in the morning before dancing out after lunch.  If you’re interested\, drop us an email to jmo2025@adlingtonmorrismen.com and we’ll be in touch. \nRegister your side/team \n\n\nBookings closed; contact the organisers in case there are spare places.  If you’re not yet signed up and would like to take part\, please email jmo2025@adlingtonmorrismen.com .  JMO Day of Dance 2025 Registration \n\n\nWe are in touch with registered sides with more details\, but if you want to get in touch please email jmo2025@adlingtonmorrismen.com.  Here’s to 2025 in Stockport! \n#JMOSTOCKPORT #JMO2025 \nWho will be performing where and when?\nSee the Participants’ Information Booklet at: https://linktr.ee/jmo2025 \nHere’s the latest list of teams (51 teams as at 21st April). \nOrganisation key: MR = Morris Ring\, OM = Open Morris\, MF = Morris Federation\n \n\n\n\nTeam\nDanceStyle\nLocation\nWeb site\nTeam Hashtag\nOrg\n\n\nAdlington Morris Men\nCotswold\nStockport\, Greater Manchester\nhttps://adlingtonmorrismen.com/\n–\nMR\, MF\n\n\nBedcote Morris\nCotswold\nStourbridge\, West Midlands\nhttps://bedcote.com/\n–\nOM\n\n\nBlackstone Edge Rapper\nRapper\nRochdale\, Greater Manchester\nBlackstone Edge on Facebook\n–\nMF\n\n\nBirmingham Rapper\nRapper\nBirmingham\, West Midlands\nBirmingham Rapper on Facebook\n\nOM\n\n\nBollin Morris\nBorder\nLymm\, Cheshire\nhttps://bollinmorris.org/\n–\nOM\n\n\nCadi Ha Morris\nCotswold\nBangor\, Wales\nCadi Ha on Facebook\n–\nOM\n\n\nChapel-en-le-Frith Morris\nCotswold\nChapel-en-le-Frith\, Derbyshire\nhttps://chapelmorris.org/\n–\nMR\n\n\nChorlton Cloghoppers\nStep\nChorleton\, Greater Manchester\nChorlton Cloghoppers on Facebook\n–\nOM\n\n\nClerical Error Morris Dancers\nBorder\nFlintshire\, Wales\nClerical Error on Facebook\n#ClericalErrorMorris\nMF\n\n\nDomesday Morris\nBorder\nStoke-on-Trent\, Staffordshire\nDomesday Morris on Facebook\n#DomesdayMorris\nMF\n\n\nEarl of Stamford Morris\nCotswold\nWarrington\, Cheshire\nwww.earlofstamford.org.uk\n–\nOM\n\n\nFiddle ‘n’ Feet\nAppalachian\nShipley\, West Yorkshire\nFiddle ‘n’ Feet on Facebook\n–\nMF\n\n\nFidler’s Fancy Morris\nNorth West\nStockport\, Greater Manchester\nhttps://fidlersfancy.weebly.com/\n–\nMF\n\n\nFosbrooks Folk Education Trust\nClog Step\nStockport\, Greater Manchester\nFosbrooks on Facebook\n–\nNone\n\n\nFOXS Morris\nBorder\nCookley\, Worcestershire\nhttps://foxsmorris.blogspot.com/\n–\nOM\n\n\nGreen Man Morris\nBorder\nNantwich\, Cheshire\nwww.greenmanmorris.org\n–\nOM\n\n\nHoylake Border Morris\nBorder\nHoylake\, Merseyside\nHoylake Morris on Facebook\n–\nOM\n\n\nIronmen\nBorder\nTelford\, Shropshire\nhttps://www.imsg.org.uk/\n–\nMF\n\n\nJockey Morris\nCotswold\nBirmingham\, West Midlands\nhttp://www.jockeymorris.org.uk/\n–\nMR\n\n\nKinnerton Morris Men\nCotswold\nChester\, Cheshire\nhttp://www.kinnertonmorris.com\n–\nMR\n\n\nKitchen Taps Appalachian\nAppalachian\nOtley\, West Yorkshire\nKitchen Taps on Facebook\n–\nOM\n\n\nKnights of King Ina\nCotswold jigs\nLangport\, Somerset\nhttps://kingina.uk/\n#KnightsofKingIna\nMF\n\n\nLeek Morris\nCotswold\, Border\nLeek\, Staffordshire\nhttps://leekmorris.my-free.website/\n#LeekMorris\nMF\n\n\nLizzie Dripping\nCotswold\nSheffield\, South Yorkshire\nLizzie Dripping on Facebook\n–\nMF\n\n\nMaltby Sword Dancers\nLongsword;
