SADDLEWORTH Morris Men are polishing their clogs and dusting down their eye-catching waistcoats and sashes as they prepare to launch their 2026 season with their Easter Tour.
The side last danced on December 27, 2025, when they closed the year with their traditional annual performance of the Lordsmere Longsword dance.
That occasion was extra special as the team was celebrating 50 years since the first time they performed the iconic dance.
Now, they are ready to pull on their dancing shoes again and launch into a busy programme after a few months on the sidelines.
Their season kicks off with an Easter Tour on Maundy Thursday – April 2 – and sees dancing over two days across the villages:
Maundy Thursday (April 2):
- King William IV pub in Greenfield at 7.30pm
- Boarshurst Band Club at 8.30pm
Good Friday (April 3):
- The White Lion, Delph, at 11am
- The Swan Inn, Dobcross, at 12.15pm
- The Navigation Inn, Dobcross, at 1.30pm
- Saddleworth Museum, Uppermill at 3pm
- Uppermill Park 4pm
