Vale of Evesham National Morris Weekend 2026 A weekend of colour, music and movement – a festival celebrating the best of all of the many forms of England’s national dance In 2006 a group of friends who all danced with various Morris sides got together to develop the Morris presence at Evesham’s annual Asparagus festival. This developed very rapidly into a multi side National festival of Morris held in the Riverside Market Town of Evesham- the gateway to the Cotswolds. Here your side can take part in tours, including Pershore and the Vale villages, the Cotswolds, our own National Trust gem The Fleece Inn, and massed dancing at key venues in and around the Historic market town of Evesham.
