Chapel-en-le-Frith Morris
@chapelmorris.bsky.social
Turning 50 in 2025. Chapel-en-le-Frith Morris - probably the most hyphenated morris side in the world. We welcome anyone (even those without hyphenated surnames) to join us as dancers and/or musicians.
2023. The wettest Buxton Day of Dance on record (just ask Leek Morris!) but, despite this, every side got to dance and have asked to come back. First female squire, Birdie, voted in at our AGM in September. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3

2013. We went to Leek Morris Day of Dance in May but dancing was abandoned because of torrential rain. Perhaps a premonition of Leek Morris at a watery Buxton DoD 10 years later in 2023. #CM50 buff.ly/4a47FG3
