WATCH: Morris dancers return to Peterborough city centre for traditional colourful display

Twelve ‘sides’ take part in stunning day of traditional dancing

There was a traditional day of dancing in Peterborough city centre at the weekend – as Morris Dancers turned Bridge Street and Cathedral Square into a stage.

There were plenty of flying hankies and clashing sticks for the Annual Day of Dance – with a dozen ‘sides’ taking part in Peterborough.

This year, the morris sides were joined by Raskila, a Lithuanian folk dance group based in Peterborough.

For those interested in trying Morris dancing, Peterborough Morris are holding a Taster Session at the Fletton Club at 8.30pm on Tue 1 October.
