Welcome to the Dead Horse Morris Website
It is with incredible sadness that we announce that Mark Lawson died in early July: our last remaining founder member. Many will have known him for several years, perhaps decades, as a friend, dancer, singer, and raconteur.
If you didn't make our recruitment day earlier this month then please do come along to one of our practices.
These take place on Monday nights 7PM, commencing 23rd September at Swalecliffe Free Church Hall CT5 2LR on the corner of Brook Road and Herne Bay Road.
About Dead Horse Morris
Dead Horse is a Morris dancing side from Whitstable in Kent, made up of the Dead Horse Morris Men and the ladies team the Broomdashers. We perform a regional style of the traditional English Morris dance. You can find out more about us here or see what Morris dancing is all about on our introductory page.
We practise during the winter months and perform in the local Kentish towns and villages in the summer, with some outings further afield. If you're interested in joining us then please get in touch or come and see us dance at one of our events.
See what we've been up to for the last 35 years by exploring our photo and video galleries, or view what the press has been saying about us.
You can learn the ways of the Dead Horse by studying our dance page that introduces you to our unique way of dancing. Or why not learn a few shanties from our song page to sing along to at one of our stands.
