Chalice normally dance out during the summer months, traditionally starting in May until August visiting venues and hostelries in towns and villages throughout Somerset. During the coming months we will be bringing you more news regarding Chalice and stories of its illustrious past, and if you need further information please use email links below.

Formed almost 50 years ago, Chalice Morris have been entertaining many parts of Somerset and beyond with their dancing skills in the Cotswolds tradition of Morris Dancing. However this is only part of what makes The Chalice Morris team what it is.

Many of the dances we do are in the Cotswold tradition with many from Oxfordshire villages such as Adderbury, Bampton, Headington and Fieldtown.
