Green Oak Morris Men first danced in Doncaster in 1972.

For 50 years they have toured all over the UK and in a number of European countries, including Bulgaria and Romania.

The Doncaster-based group wants men of all ages and experience to try morris dancing or playing folk tunes.

“We are a friendly bunch and welcome people from all over Doncaster to come along and give it a go.”.

Green Oak practices on Wednesdays, 8pm, in the upstairs bar at Doncaster Brewery Tap, Young Street. No need to book - just turn up.

Green Oak dance with sticks and handkerchiefs to the rhythm of English folk tunes.

They also perform a Yorkshire longsword dance and an historic mummers play at Christmas.
