Welcoming you to Stoke-on-Trent
The Morris Federation and Domesday Morris extend a warm welcome to all members of The Morris Federation to join us in a Day of Dance on Saturday 26th September 2026 in Stoke-on-Trent, followed by The Morris Federation’s AGM at 16.30 (16:00 sign-in).
The Day of Dance will include tours that include the likes of Gladstone Pottery Museum or Ford Green Hall, and great pubs like The Glebe or The Holy Inadequate.
The day, including the AGM, will be based at Fenton Town Hall, and from here there will be coach tours provided by Domesday showcasing some of the great industrial heritage of our city. The day will start with a chance to meet old friends and new while having a brew and light breakfast of oatcakes (of course!) The coaches will collect sides from Fenton Town Hall, with each tour including a morning, lunch and afternoon dance stand, featuring at least one historic pottery/industrial heritage site and one pub.
