We will also put on Friday night social/session and more dancing on Sunday lunchtime for those who wish. \nSheffield is known as a hotbed of morris dancing\, and folk arts in general.  It is easily accessible by rail\, bus and road.  Not so much by sea.  This event is being organised by Sheffield City Morris\, Pecsaetan Morris\, and Five Rivers Morris. \nWe have lots of great teams from far and wide joining us for the celebration. \nTimetable\n\nThe final timetable of dance spots is available here\nA map of the dance spots is available here for printing.\nThere is also an interactive online version which includes food and drink spots\, pubs and useful travel information.

You can check if your vehicle is affected here.\nWe strongly encourage the use of public transport where possible; there are some very convenient Supertram park and ride sites around the city. Get off at the Cathedral spot for a short walk to all dance spots.\nFor those who do need to drive\, Q-Park Rockingham Street or NCP Solly Street are both reasonably priced and a convenient walk to the dance spots.\nThe Sheffield 10K is taking place on Sunday 28 September\, resulting in some road closures around the west of the city. If you are staying on this side of town you may find roads a bit busier than usual\n\nFAQs \nCan our team be added?  Bookings are now closed – email us about last-minute availability: drop us an email. \nIs it a special event?  Obviously all Fed AGMs are special!  However it’s also the 50th anniversary of the Morris Federation and also of several sides including Sheffield City Morris. \nWill there be any charge?  The dancing\, AGM and evening socialising will be free of charge. \nIf I’m driving\, where can I park?  Like most cities\, parking in the city centre can expensive. Be aware that there are bus gates and a clean air zone\, which catches most motorhomes. An alternative is to use the park & ride car parks and come in on the tram. \nWhat accommodation is available for the weekend?  There are many hotels in the city centre but unfortunately there are no campsites nearby. We hope to be able to arrange a limited number of camper / motor home spaces. \nWhat happens if the weather is bad?  We will be looking to use indoor accommodation but the day of dance would inevitably be curtailed. \nWhat happens if there’s an emergency?  Please contact the organisers and the relevant emergency service if required. \nWhere can we find further information?  As more detail develops\, we will update this page and obviously send fuller details to the teams who sign up to come! \n#MFAGM2025 \nWhich teams will be there?  37 teams booked (as at 10th September): \n\n\n\nTeam\nDance Style\nTown & County\nWeb Site\nSide Hashtag\n\n\nAdlington Morris\nCotswold\nStockport\, Greater Manchester\nhttps://adlingtonmorrismen.com/\n–\n\n\nBeverley Garland\nNorth West\nBeverley\, East Riding of Yorkshire\nhttps://beverleygarlanddancers.co.uk/\n#BeverleyGarlandDancers\n\n\nBlack Annis\nCotswold\, Molly\nLeicester\, Leicestershire\nhttps://blackannismorris.org/\n–\n\n\nBlack Gate Morris\nCotswold\nNewcastle\, Tyne and Wear\nBlack Gate Morris Facebook page\n–\n\n\nBow Brook\nBorder\nUpton Snodsbury Worcestershire\nBow Brook Border Facebook page\n#BowBrookBorder\n\n\nClerical Error\nBorder\nHolywell\, Flintshire\nClerical Error Morris Facebook page\n#ClericalErrorMorris\n\n\nDukes Dandy Clog\nClog Step\nRetford\, Nottinghamshire\nDukes Dandy on MF teamfinder\n#DukesDandy\n\n\nFeet First\nAppalachian\nChesterfield\, Derbyshire\nhttp://www.feetfirstdance.co.uk/\n#FeetFirstAppalachian\n\n\nFive Rivers Morris\nCotswold\nSheffield\, South Yorkshire\nhttp://fiveriversmorris.org.uk/\n#FiveRiversMorris\n\n\nFolk Factory Youth (Soundpost)\nVarious\nSheffield\, South Yorkshire\nhttps://www.soundpost.org.uk/\n–\n\n\nHarlequin North West\nNorth West\nCleasby\, North Yorkshire\nHarlequin Morris Facebook page\n–\n\n\nKnights of King Ina\nCotswold Jigs\nLangport\, Somerset\nhttps://kingina.uk/\n#KnightsofKingIna\n\n\nLiberty Hill North West\nNorth West\nMidlands area\nLiberty Hill Facebook page\n#LibertyHillNorthWestMorris\n\n\nLizzie Dripping\nBorder\, Molly\, North West\, Clog Step\nSheffield\, South Yorkshire\nhttp://www.lizziedripping.org.uk/\n–\n\n\nMabel Gubbins\nRapper\nWallingford\, Oxfordshire\nhttps://www.mabelgubbins.co.uk/\n–\n\n\nMakeney Morris\nCotswold\nBelper\, Derbyshire\nhttps://www.makeneymorris.org.uk/\n#MakeneyMorris\n\n\nMersey Morris\nCotswold\nWirral\, Merseyside\nhttps://merseymorris.com/\n#MerseyMorris\n\n\nMilltown Cloggies\nNorth West\nDukinfield\, Greater Manchester\nMilltown Cloggies Facebook page\n–\n\n\nMockbeggar Morris\nNorth West\nWirral\, Merseyside\nMockbeggar Morris Facebook page\n#MockbeggarMorris\n\n\nMortimer’s Morris\nNorth West\nNottingham\, Nottinghamshire\nhttps://www.mortimers-morris.org.uk/\n–\n\n\nOutside Capering Crew\, The\nCotswold\, Broom\nDidcot\, Oxfordshire\nhttp://www.caperingcr.eu/\n#OutsideCaperingCrew\n\n\nPateley Longsword\nLongsword\nRipon\, North Yorkshire\nhttp://www.pateleylongsword.co.uk/\n#PateleyLongsword\n\n\nPecsaetan Morris\nCotswold\nSheffield\, South Yorkshire\nhttp://www.pecsaetan.co.uk/\n–\n\n\nRamshackle Morris\nCotswold\, Border\nYork\, North Yorkshire\nRamshackle Morris Facebook page\n#Ramshacklemorris\n\n\nRed Cuthbert\nCotswold\, Border\nBedford\, Bedfordshire\nhttp://redcuthbert.uk/\n#RedCuthbertMorris\n\n\nRipley Green Garters\nNorth West\nRipley\, Derbyshire\nhttps://ripleygreengarters.co.uk/\n–\n\n\nRumworth Morris\nNorth West\nSheffield\, South Yorkshire\nhttp://www.rumworthmorris.org.uk/\n#RumworthMorris\n\n\nSheffield City Morris\nCotswold\nSheffield\, South Yorkshire\nhttps://sheffieldcitymorris.org.uk/\n#SheffieldCityMorris\n\n\nSlubbing Billys\nNorth West\nHuddersfield\, West Yorkshire\nSlubbing Billys Facebook page\n#SlubbingBillys\n\n\nSutton Masque\nBorder\nEly\, Cambridgeshire\nhttp://suttonmasque.org.uk/\n–\n\n\nTaylor’s Morris\nCotswold\nLambeth Walk\, London\nhttps://taylorsmorris.org/\n–\n\n\nThe Nine Ladies\nClog Step\nSwanwick\, Derbyshire\nThe Nine Ladies Facebook page\n–\n\n\nTourbillion\nCotswold Jigs\nKennerleigh\, Devon\n–\n–\n\n\nTrentside Holmes\nCotswold\nNewark\, Nottinghamshire\nTrentside Holmes Facebook page\n#TrentsideHolmes\n\n\nWakefield Morris\nNorth West\nWakefield\, West Yorkshire\nhttp://www.wakefieldmorris.com/\n#WakefieldMorrisDancers\n\n\nWindsor Morris\nCotswold\nWindsor\, Berkshire\nhttps://windsormorris.org.uk/\n#WindsorMorris\n\n\nYorkshire Chandelier\nNorth West\, Garland\nSheffield\, South Yorkshire\nhttp://www.yorkshirechandelier.org.uk/\n#YorkshireChandelier
