Hurst Morris People taster sessions

Hurst Morris People have leapt back into real life action since Covid rules were relaxed this summer. They’re now inviting everyone to have a go at their traditional English hobby at two free taster sessions in September, offering:

• Lots of fun
• Easy to learn dances, taught by friendly teachers
• Superb live music
• Exercise that beats the gym!

The sessions will be on September 23 and 30 from 8-10pm, any Covid restrictions allowing.

Over the summer HuMP has been practising, distanced and outdoors, at St Nicholas School’s large playground in Hurst. A decision on the tasters’ venue will be based on government guidance – but hopefully back at the team’s usual base at Hurst Village Hall.

Hurst Morris People Squire (leader) Karen Ricketts from Twyford, said: “Everyone is welcome for fun evenings trying out dancing; you don’t need morris experience. We’re men and women of all ages and backgrounds. At our taster evenings we have a homemade cake break, and then a visit to a Hurst pub. Musicians are also welcome to the tasters to play.”

HuMP dances at pubs, schools, fetes, stately homes and folk festivals. They dance the Cotswold
Morris tradition – that’s the one with hankies and sticks.
