Hartley Morris Men

Our home is the Rose and Crown Pub, High Street, Wrotham where we have happily resided for several decades. During that time Landlords have come and gone and it always takes a little while to break a new one in but we regard that duty as our service to the community.

The Hartley Morris Men are the oldest Morris side dancing in the West Kent area, with our roots going back to the Stansted Morris dancers of 1934 – 39. We perform the ancient and traditional Morris dances of the Cotswold style.

We practice in St George’s Hall Wrotham on Thursday evenings throughout the winter. If any men or women would like to join us then you would be welcome to attend the hall or contact the Hartley Morris Bagman via https://www.hartleymorrismen.org.uk/

Every year we perform in the village on May 1st and Boxing Day lunchtimes outside the Rose & Crown, we also support the Christmas Fair. In early June we base our Annual Weekend of Dance in the village which is regularly attended by around 80 Morris Men from all over the county.
