Chobham St Lawrence Morris

So another year comes around and some people never learn do they? Many of the events we have danced at before have inexplicably invited us back and next year's calendar is already taking shape.

Our Mummers play was a great success (with the exception of one, very forgettable Red performance) and I'm sure we will repeat it again this coming Christmas - we may even get the words right next time. 

 As usual, we would always welcome new dancers to our side, but in addition here is a special (and personally motivated) appeal for any musicians who like to come and join us! We are now down to one rather solitary, inexperienced and inconsistent melodeon player - me! - and I'd really quite like to dance occasionally.

About Chobham St Lawrence Morris Men.

We have been dancing in and around Chobham since the late 80's, ostensibly to raise money for the St Lawrence Primary School in Chobham, but largely to enjoy ourselves. Some of the Originals are still dancing and hope to be able to learn the dances soon. Over the years we have danced in Sweden, France, Spain and even as far away as North Devon and have the pictures to prove it - see the Photoboard link below. Closer to home, we frequently appear at many of the fetes and carnivals local to Chobham during the year, often even when uninvited. 

We are happy to consider bookings for weekend days in the spring and summer provided be can raise a side (and you don't expect too much!). See contact details below.
