Adlington is a small village in Cheshire, located between the towns of Stockport and Macclesfield. Its principal feature is the manor house, Adlington Hall. Members of the side come from a wide area to practice and perform the traditional dances of England. They do so for the fun, friendship, fitness and liquid fortification associated with Morris Dancing
Formed in 1964, the Adlington Morris Men have earned an excellent reputation for their dancing and now perform a full programme throughout the spring and summer. Their dances are drawn mainly from those originating in the Cotswold and surrounding villages. They have developed a repertoire involving an individual style and interpreattion, whilst still retaining the traditional elements of the dance
They also perform a long sword dance from Vale of Yorkshire and the Alderley Mummers play, which is performed during the Christmas period |
