Dartington Morris Men
Welcome to our web site. If you would like to know more about us, when and where we dance, how we dance and why we dance, then you're in the right place - our online calendar is kept right up to date. We also have a photo gallery and a fine collection of sheet music for traditional tunes; and you can listen to samples from our very own CD, which you can order online for quick delivery.
We are based in the small village of Dartington, near Totnes in South Devon. We dance all around the area on Friday evenings during the summer, occasional Fridays during the winter and at other special events throughout the year. We belong to the Morris Ring, a national organisation of Morris dancers.
So, whether you’re a visitor to the area, a local resident, another Morris dancer or musician, or just wondering what it’s all about, please read on and then come out and see us – you never know, you might really enjoy it!

Proper Job! Audio CD - Listen and Buy!
This is a collection of songs and tunes that form part of our normal repertoire, played as part of the dance entertainment or performed after the dancing while we are relaxing and enjoying good company.

Autumn is the best time of year to start dancing, when we are practising our dances, but you can talk to us about this at any time - you will always be welcome. If you have a desire to learn to dance the Morris or enjoy live traditional music, do come along and let us know. Contact the Foreman for further information, or talk to any member of the side when you see us out and about. Don't worry if you aren't sure - there's no pressure!

Booking usHow to book usWe are normally fully booked many months in advance, but please contact the Bagman if you wish to make a booking or simply enquire about one. FeesWe make a charge for attending private or fee-paying events, and this is used together with our collections and sales to cover some of the costs of operating (kit, for example, which is quite costly). Any surplus we take is donated to local charities of our choice.
