Crook Morris

Seven jolly dancers and three musicians standing in a line on top of a Cumbrian fell soon after sunrise. They wear white shirts, black trousers, maroon and green baldricks and socks, and straw hats decorated with flowers.

Crook Morris is a mixed Morris side based in Kendal, Cumbria. We perform a variety of dances from traditions all over England.

We are happy to come and dance at local pubs, events and festivals during the summer season (roughly April until September.) We're lucky to have a fair number of dancers and musicians but it's always best to get us booked in early!
