Welcome to the home of Lassington Oak Morris Men – where tradition meets energy, and every step tells a story.
Based in the heart of Highnam, Gloucestershire, we’ve been bringing the vibrant spirit of Cotswold Morris dancing to life since we formed in 1976.
But we’re more than just a dance side. We’re known for our lively performances, our legendary “calves of steel,” and a passion that keeps audiences coming back for more.
