Keep fit - Have fun - Make friends
Learn traditional Morris dancing and enjoy dancing at summer events around the South and West of England.
Mr Wilkins’ Shilling is a mixed-gender Morris dancing team from Bath, Somerset, dancing in the North-West style wearing traditional wooden clogs which make a fantastic sound.
The team practices most Thursday evenings at 8am to 10pm at Bathampton Village Hall, BA2 6UL
They perform, or “Dance Out”, during the summer months at pubs, fetes and festivals around the South and West of England. At Christmas, they dance in the hometown of Bath to raise money for charity.
Come along
Mr Wilkins’ Shilling welcomes new dancers at any time of the year and musicians are also made very welcome. Why not come along to try it out? You’ll learn how to dance at your own pace and no special equipment is required for Thursday practices. You can either buy your own kit or borrow kit from the team stock at a reduced cost.
