About Alvechurch Morris

Meeting Place

We meet on Monday evenings throughout the year except during August when we take a well-earned break. We meet in the Baptist Church Hall, 29 Red Lion Street, Alvechurch B48 7LG from 20:30 onwards and, when sufficiently exercised, we retire to our local hostelry, the Weighbridge, to discuss the more pressing matters of the day!

Membership

We welcome all prospective dancers and/or musicians, irrespective of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status. Contact the Bagman on the Contacts page.

Alvechurch Morris on the steps of The Swan, Alvechurch on their 30th Anniversary

Founded in 1989, for a "one-off" performance at the school fete, Alvechurch Morris were a black-face side for many years but have responded to the changing times in which we live and are now proud to go green and endorse the UK Joint Morris Organisation's statement on blackface.

"Our traditions do not operate in a vacuum. While no morris dancer wants to cause offence, we must recognise that full-face black or other skin tone makeup is a practice that has the potential to cause deep hurt. Morris is a living tradition and it is right that it has always adapted and evolved to reflect society. ......
